21 years old & just Diagnosed with RA

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Dianie, I'm 21 years old and was diagnosed with rheumatoid

arthritis about 6 weeks ago... I've been taking 200mg of Plaquenil

twice a day for the past month... I've felt somewhat better (not so

stiff & hurting as much) since I've been taking this med but I still

experience fatigue in the mornings and sometimes throughout the day,

my joints still feel warm (knees, wrists, hips)... Does anyone have

any advice or knowledge they could share with me about Plaquenil &

rheumatoid arthritis? Has anyone been diagnosed this young? I'm still

a little uneducated about this disease and I would like to know as

much as possible, I've searched on the internet but every website had

a somewhat different opinion of rheumatoid arthritis and what causes

it... I'd greatly appreciate any response or advice I get.

Thanks and have a great day!
