I'm highly allergic to Plaquenil. I was put on it last summer, developed the absolute worst skin rash I can imagine about a week later. Think fire ants biting you from neck to toes 24/7. Stopped the Plaquenil a few days later. The rash took about a month to completely go away.

I have seen those kinds of allergic reactions as a nurse. I don't seem to be allergic to any medications. As far as my immune system over-reacting, I might be allergic to myself though!

I'm glad the rash cleared up. You never can tell in advance what might happen to certain people until you try it and see. You would think prednisone would squash some of those allergic reactions.
