I have been on plaquenil for 25 years with no side effects. I do get eye exams regularly and haven't shown any signs of problems. Good luck to you!...
Yep I have rock climbed. I grew up in California and use to go up to Yosemite frequently. You guys are an adventurous lot!! The most adventurous thing I've done is have 2 of my children born at...
Thank you Vickie so much for posting this info. It is a good reminder that not everyone gets what we deal with on a daily basis to cope. Whenever I am in really bad pain or sick I go "into" myself...
White Beard thanks so much for your concern! I talked to both my Rheumy and PCP and I have an appt for Wed with the PCP just to be on the safe side....
Had a really weird weekend. I've been in extra pain this last week in my hips so decided to stay low for the weekend. Saturday night as I was going into our bathroom I had some sort of seizure....

Barbara, I am so very sorry for your pain and suffering! I will be praying you get some relief sooner rather than later and that your cataract surgery goes well and doesn't cause more of a flare. I...
Thanks guys for the love and support! My Ortho said I need to wait 2 more weeks before starting the aqua therapy. I will try and be patient which isn't my strong suite :) I'm kinda freaked out about...
First of all I need to apologize for not being helpful to others and showing my support the last month or so. I've been here reading and learning so much from y'all. I just haven't had the energy...
I had similar pain that started about 6 weeks ago. I had L4 through S1 anterior/posterior fusion last October. I first had a cortisone shot in the right trochanteric bursa. That helped some but...
Rocckyd I am so sorry that you are going through so much. My son had a gj tube placement because of severe gastroparesis due to his diabetes. It helped tremendously with the vomiting. I am also so...
