Hello,
I'm curious if this medication Plaquenil aka Hydroxychloroquine has helped anyone?

I'm not tolerating prednisone at all. Took prednisone about 8 months of 5-10 mg when the side effects hit, by constant all over body cramps.
Weaning off the prednisone brought to light that I apparently have PMR. Already diagnosed with CREST scleroderma. 2 mg I was extremely fatigued and in pain. 1 mg was worse. Cramps nearly gone at that time. Couldn't take the fatigue and pain. Back up to 5 mg. Back to cramps again. Let me add I am on magnesium and potassium daily with hopes it was relieve cramps.

My Rheumatologist wants to put me on Hydroxychloroquine to replace prednisone. I've never had a normal sed rate in nearly 2 yrs. Always 55-105.
