Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi and all... Thank you for your response about the plaquinil. I'm waiting for my rheumy to call me back about what to do now. I took plaq years and years ago with no problems at all..but seems anymore anything I take...gives me reaction of some sort. Humira did the same thing. I used to be able to take Humira and thenit turned on me. The plaquinil really was helping me too so I'm bummed about that. I am taking the prednisone the p/c recommended for the rash but ..the rash is still here. From my face to my ankles... hope this isn't going to be around a long time. I feel like a leper. The rash started out as pink dots and now looks like blotchy hives. Ugly! It seems to bother me more at night...the itch and all I started taking the plaquinil in mid August... My p/c said it was Megace which she gave me to stimulate my appetite but I don't think that's what it was. Thanks everyone for their experience with plaq. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hi a, I am sounding like a broken record here.......digestive enzymes may be the answer. You see the medications slow down the digestive system and that could be why your tollerance is going down. Add digestive enzymes to your daily regime and you may increase your tollerance.
