Hello @mezack25,

I combined your question on hydroxychloroquine with an existing discussion in the PMR support group titled:

"Are you taking Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) for PMR?"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/are-you-taking-plaquenil-hydroxychloroquine-for-pmr/

This discussion was started by @wilckdds and members @menetski4, @reets70 and @jrp11948 all joined the discussion to share their experiences.

@mezack25, you mentioned your provider wanted you to get off of prednisone because of side effects, were you experiencing them?

Yes, I have high blood pressure that increased while I was on prednisone. In addition, I was very irritable and restless and had a hard time sleeping.
after weighing the side effects of prednisone with the pain of arthritis and stenosis, my doctor has me on prednisone again to manage the pain.
