Question
I have been taking Prednisone, Methotrexate and NSAID for my RA. Last week my doctor added Plaquenil. I know that it could take up to months to work. But I didn’t think that it would make me worse. Ever since I start taking Plaquenil I have been geeting alot more pain, stiffness and swelling. The dose or nothing has change with the meds that I was already on. Does this make any since to you?
Answer
Plaquenil should not make you worse. You might be experiencing worsening of your disease.
