Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi Ruth... Many years ago, I took plaquinel ith no problem. But recently, my dr put me on it again since I had no bad reactions to it. About 3 weeks into it, I developed a head to toe rash. I looked like I had a sunburn...and my body was covered with red spots...itchy. I took a trip to my p/c for a steroid type iv, upped my prednisone, and much benadryl. I finally get rid of it a week and 2 days later. No fun. Humira gave me a bad reaction and i used to be able to take that. My rheumy had me on prednisone, arava and plaquinel at the same time. I don't know if it was the combination of those meds that caused my reaction or just the plaquinel..but he took me off the plaq and I was to restart the arava once the rash went away. So far so good with the arava but you know I'm looking out for any itch. But like i said...never had a problem with it before. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
