Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hi all...another new " face " to learn... I was diagnosed with RA at the beginning of November after dealing with bilateral hand pain for the better part of a year. I've been taking Plaquenil 100mg bid for the past 2 months. For those on this regimen, do you notice a marked lack of pain when it finally gets into your system? What do (or did) you take for the pain? My RF at diagnosis what 16.5 points above normal, which I guess puts me in the beginning stages -- but I'm used to working a physical job (Shipping and Logistics) using my hands constantly, and I have a 3 1/2 year old son...and if this is mild I'm not looking forward to the rest of the ride... I'm still getting used to the deep pain in the joints of my fingers whenever I stop using my hands. My husband has been very supportive -- especially since the diagnosis, because the pain has been justified by the medical community... Whaddya know? It's NOT all in my head!
