Hi there everyone..
Its been such a long time since I visited your site when I first started researching what was wrong with me. Time seems to have flown by..
It turns out I had Hughes and not Lupus, hence the reason for not being an active member here.
I need to, however pick your brains over Plaquenil and anyone who might have been unfortunate enough to become allergic to it..
I had been taking this for approx five months with great benefits and suddenly I took an allergic reaction to something. It was more likely out of everything I took the plaquenil
..
What happened the day before my allergy started was that, although I take plaquenil at teatime away from my omeprazole in mornings, I accidently popped the Plaquenil on Wed morning instead of my morning meds. So I left my morning meds till later in morning and popped them around 11am ish.. Could this have been what done it?
I took a week off from taking it until the reaction settled down and tried again but on taking tablets over two days, a few spots and the itchies appeared and I dare not go on any further for fear of further reaction..
I am pretty gutted as you will understand being as it was so beneficial to my quality of life and already I am beginning to feel fatigued and less able after a couple of weeks of not taking it...
There doesnt appear to be an alternative which is making me feel even more down..
My allergy started on my back, up and down my spin and sent my skin like rhino skin, all leathery and shiny.. it was in my hair, round my neck, palms of hands ( down below:wink2
and on my chest.. it took a period of four days to esculate and on day four my face began to swell.. along with funny feeling in my throat..
Has this happened to anyone else.. ? I am keen to just share information on this.. I am desparate for it to not perhaps be plaquenil but interaction with other drugs.. or something so I can perhaps start taking it again.. so researching as much as I can...
I hope you can help
Best Wishes
Annie
