rheumatoid arthritis
"I began taking Plaquenil 6 weeks ago and I am pleased with it.  I'm now seeing the benefits and my Rheumatologist says that I should continue to get even better over the next 3 months. Honestly I'm okay with where I'm already at.   The biggest surprise is that I'm receiving benefits that I didn't get from 20mg/day of Prednisone!  The hardest part was when I first began Plaquenil. You initially experience side effects without any benefit but you just have to hang in there.  The side effects start to improve significantly after 2 weeks. My side effects were nausea, loose stools, vomiting and temporary changes in vision (full eye exam confirmed that everything is fine.) I would highly recommend this medicine!"
