Hi Lisa (@lisabeans) - It's good to hear from you and especially good that you've found some relief for your pain and are able to work. The congestion and green/yellowish mucus almost sounds like symptoms of the common cold. I wouldn't let it go to long without talking with or seeing your doctor. I don't like to take antibiotics either but quite a few years back I had symptoms similar to yours and let it go for three weeks before seeing a doctor because I thought it was just a cold and I would get over it. It turned into bronchitis and I got very sick. Now if I get a cold and it's not done by the second week I go see the doc. Here are the symptoms for bronchitis:

I didn't see your symptoms listed under the side effects for Plaquenil but did find a detailed list here:

Thanks @johnbishop. I hope you are doing well. Its been great working more hours but does kill me at the end of the day. I thought I did have bronchitis and went to the urgent care in January, I had the worst chest pains and felt like a heart attack. They said it was an inflammatory condition of the chest. Forget the name. They did not take xrays. I still get pains in the chest but not to that magnitude. I am just so tired of getting a head one day to be pushed back 2 steps the next. I am sure you understand that!

Lisa I definitely understand 2 steps forward, 1 step back ☺
