Comment:
I lost most of my vision from this medication. At the time, their was no proper guidelines on visual testing or the progression of the disease. Over the years they have found the damage does continue. The use of the medication was not worth the loss of vision.

Comment:
Without Chloroquine I am not able to walk or function. It has given me my life back. It took a year for me to get the full potential of the drug and to feel somewhat normal. I still have flares, but not as often. I would be lost without it.
