Hello Freya and welcome 
A lot of people come and go here. Sometimes because they are too ill or too well to be coming on the forum and we're quite happy to welcome you for whatever time you need to be here.
I'm sorry to hear you are flaring and most surprised to hear that you weren't followed up for those eight years. Many people stay on plaquenil even if they are in medication induced remission as it is a drug that takes so long to kick in when you go back on it. Of course, your case is maybe a little different as you have been lucky enough to have such a long remission. Great to know that they exist
Hopefully the meds will kick in fairly soon and you'll be feeling a whole lot better,
hugs to you :hug:
