Yes, I take Plaquenil, and I have been taking Restasis for my eyes. I’m also on allergy shots, since it seems like I’m allergic to everything. I’m almost positive a primary care doctor can prescribe the medicine for you, since you have already been diagnosed. Your doctor should be able to communicate with your physician regarding your previous medical records..

You might need to explain that it’s very difficult to see the original doctor due to travel and your age.
A compassionate doctor would do that. If she or he didn’t, I think I would need to find a doctor who would want to do that for me.

There’s no reason that your regular doctor couldn’t be able to order labs to see how you’re doing. The lab technicians know what is necessary,

I have found I've finally had to advocate for myself, and it seems to be working. I hope you have success with this. It’s not something that’s easy to do handle without treatment.

Wishing you all the luck in the world.
