HI veej
Went to the site address on the sticky and got alot of my ?s answered.
What a treasure this site is.
Really sick today but hope for a better day tommorrow.I saw dr. yesterday. Upper resp. infect.
I get sick alot being on the plaquenil and have trouble fighting the viruses.
Does this improve the longer I am on it?

My dogs (3) luv when I am home but they know when I am sick.
They lay all around me in bed and don't leave my side. They are great!

Blessings to you all

June, Plaquenil takes 4-6 months to reach full effect, per Dr. Daniel Wallace in his lupus hardcover. FYI, his book is in most libraries & bookstores. Dr. Robert Lahita's lupus books are also quite comprehensive. Plus your rheumie could add his insight to this question, too.

I'm glad your 3 doggies are keeping close tabs on you. We are ridiculously attached to our little terrier. He's a real pip.

Hang in there, OK? It's been a bad winter here, too: friends all sick multiple times. I've not gotten colds, flu, etc.---just hurt all winter & felt horribly pooped out, which seems to be what I do when others are sick with "normal" things. Bye for now, Vee
