Yep. I did experience that. Freaked me out at first cause I don't or didn't bruise easily.😅

Addendum: My rhemy said that this medication can take several months to be effective. One side effect is the discoloration of my arms that looks like a bruise, but isn’t. It’s called ecchymosis and the hydroxychloraquine is most likely the culprit.❤️🙏🦋

I have been on hydroxychloraquine for about a year and have not had these side effects. But as Jackie B. so correctly stated, a kaleidoscope of possible symptoms affect people in different ways. Lupus is a tricky adversary for certain! We stick together to fight together and make life easier by sharing with caring people.❤️🙏🦋

I've taken hydroxychloroquine since 2017 when I was first diagnosed and I have not experienced any if these symptoms. But with Lupus and its kaleidoscope affect for different people, it's always best to get it checked out. Lupus can be a catalyst for other underlying conditions you may not be aware of.
