Is BJ your nickname? We have another Barbara on this site, so it might be easier if we called you BJ. But, of course not if it's not your name!! Anyway, I was wondering what kind of positive things you noticed with the Plaquenil. My 1st Rheummy told me that it could

Pam you sure can call me BJ people in other groups i belong too call me that as my family does too......as for the plaquenil he was giving me that and prednisone for the lupus the only thing i had to do was check my eyes periodically that was the worse side effect to have, taking both made me feel terrific but eventually i asked to stop it, i personally believe all drugs have common and serious side effects, but we have to take things in order to find out what to elliminate and what can help....i have to take prednisone in high doses when i am in a flare and trust me those could kill me faster than having the lupus BUT i have to take them to help put me in remission, i was on that for almost three years till i begged to ween me off of them and now i don't take anything, i take klonopin every now and then for the anxiety and panic and now i am just working on trying to lose alittle weight, i was not allowed to exercise because of all the problems i have and with all the metal in my body and things were shifting etc etc, i begged him on that too and won, i go to curves which is kinda like swimming type exercise and i am just careful, but i am trying to stay alittle active and maybe someday i will be ok..............i know you all might screamed but i have three sisters who have saline and are terrific and have had them in for over 10 years, not one problem, and i always thought things would be hereditary, what if i just had them remove the silicone and put saline in????would i still have to detox and all that other stuff, just asking...........take care and thank you bj
