Blood results and Plaquenil

Posted by yellowdoggirl @yellowdoggirl, Jul 15, 2021

I'm trying to find out if Plaquenil helps to normalize the results of my autoimmune blood work. My results are better. Is it due to the Plaquenil or am I just better?

Hello @yellowdoggirl I wasn’t able to find anything related to you question. Have you discussed this with your doctor?

Thank you@becsbuddy!
I have not yet inquired about it with the doctor. I have a few things to ask about so I am saving them to ask all at once.
Also wonder if Plaquenil improves dry eyes and mouth, all part of UCTD.

@yellowdoggirl so you’ve got lots of questions for the doctor! I sure hope that you are writing them down in a notebook that you take with you. When do you see your doctor?

@becsbuddy, I will see him in October, but I can send a message to ask things anytime.
It is hard for me to believe that the things I have are real, not imagined and that the Plaquenil has helped as much as I think.
I don't want to be an unnecessary bother sending many separate messages.
He has told me that it takes time, 2-4 weeks to see symptom changes from Plaquenil reduction or increase. (I think I already feel changes (negative) after 8 days or so. but I want to wait and see how it is after the amount of time he said.
Thank you for the reminder to keep a list!
