Is Anyone Taking Rheumate? Has It Been Beneficial?
I'm currently taking a small dosage of methotrexate (4 pills/week) and instead of increasing my dosage for slight joint discomfort, my Rheumy has prescribed Rheumate.

Has Plaquenil Helped You?
From the beginning of treatment my rheumy put me on 400mg of Plaquenil daily. I take one pill in the morning and one at night. I struggled sticking to my meds and treatment plan for the first couple months or my diagnosis because I was in denial and didn't really believe it so I just recently started taking my medications again as prescribed (I was diagnosed October 2015).
The Plaquenil really upsets my stomach. I get acid reflux and it triggers my GERD and I wake up with a sore throat all… read more
