seems to be helping, but I am still going through my paid sick leave WAY too fast
Working / Worked
Three times I have been on Plaquenil over the years. The first back in 1980 and I was on it for 2 also worked well for a few years, which caused a remission for 3 years. The second time it also worked well for me. About 8 years ago, I tried it again and nada. I was constantly nausea and quit. I am going to try Plaquenil again in a few weeks.
