I was diagnosed with PMR ih my hips about 2 years ago. After the diagnosis, I was on decreasing dosages of Prednisone for over a year, but the pain always came back. My rheumatologist suggested that I try Plaquenil to avoid the affects of being on Prednisone for the long term Do any of you have experience with this drug? I am on 200 MG right now, but still have some hip pain - but not all the time. Don't want to increase dosage as this med can be bad for your eyes. I'm trying to figure out why the pain comes and goes - like does it have anything to do with drinking alcohol, foods with high fat content, etc? BTW, I have gotten amazing pain relief from high quality CBD lotion, which I put on my hips if the pain wakes me in the night.
