I’ve been on hydroxychloroquine for 20 years and I don’t remember one negative side effect. It’s a very old drug that was originally used for malaria, but it is given for diseases like lupus and rheumatic conditions. I’ll be taking this drug for the rest of my life.

Thank you for the feedback. Searches on it say it "might" prevent flares. Have you found it does? What benefits have you had from taking it?
