I am sorry that you are feeling so bad right now.
It does sound like you have a lot on your plate right now, and you said yourself that you are run down.
I got run down this last fall too. I ended up with mouth sores, and a terrible sinus infection. I thought I was doing pretty good at the time. Then lupus smacked me a good one and let me know that I wasn't taking care of myself good enough.
I don't think plaquenil lowers your resistance but then I could be wrong. I always thought it was lupus that did that.
When I have been out and in crowds, I always make sure I wash my hands. I try not to touch my face until after I wash. (when you tell yourself not to touch your face, then you get that itch that drives you nuts until you scratch it.
) I also carry around a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
I know it is hard for you right now with your grandfather in the hospital. Do you have a family member or a close friend that could help you out?
Maybe you should put in a call to your rhumey, to see if he could help you out.
Take care and hang in there.
