I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE PAIN AND I AM THINKING ABOUT GOING BACK ON 2 A DAY.EYE AND LUNG PROBLEMS ARE THE REASON I DECIDED TO CUT THE MED. DOSE. UNDER DR.'S CARE.I GUESS ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY OR QUANTITY OF LIFE.

    Comment:
    Plaquenil eased the discomfort of lupus and RH, but over six years use, I gained 60 pounds of weight from fluid. I had allergic breaking out all over my body. This cleared up when I ceased use. I lost the 60 pounds in two months.
