diets and such

[Guest guest]

Thank goodness spring is almost here. Here in Vancouver, WA, we have been

getting some spring like weather. It is really odd. Blue skies and

everything. It's been beautiful!

Plaquenil.. this is one of the drugs that I tried when I was 14. It gave me

HORRIBLE headaches. I remember sitting in PE, beginning of school year, and

a girl behind me asked if I was OK. I didn't realize I had been sitting

there holding my head in my hands. I also had to check my eyes on a daily

basis with a chart the doc gave me. Luckily, that didn't last. Have you had

your eyes checked?

Voltaren is one I also tried. I don't remember much how it worked or not.

Rainy,

Hi, I seemd to get some lightheadedness when I was just on the

voltaren but it was only occasionally. I think that the plaquenil brings it

on much more often. I have been getting my eyes checked every 6 months since

I started the plaquneil.I had an eye exam when I 1st went on the drug. Just

went to the eye dr last week and everything looks fine. I've only been on the

plaquenil a little over 6 months now. I do see some improvement, but I really

don't know how much. The only thing is that it makes me wonder how I would be

now if I didn't start on it at all. Thanks for the quick reply. Have a great

day. Barb
