Hi Kiley
Just to add
what could be some "unuseful" perspective ....
I take Plaquenil and also Mepacrine ( the latter in the last few months).
You cant dismiss side effects or at least the possibility. BUT
My own experience tells me that despite me trying to find a common factor for the behaviour of lupus in how it affects me, what are things that are not lupus etc.... and those times that...just when have a handle or at least try to make sense of it - something comes along that worked fine before I cant understand why now dosnt fit or make sense.
New symptoms come along and its really important to be aware of changes.
Sometimes ( this is the most frustrating bit for me) what worked before seems to temporarily or perhaps possibly permanently not be the same.
A lot of my time was and can be spent trying to fathom why I particually feel like this in these circumstances and what has changed or what could have effected these changes.
Your not alone and you may have Plaquenil as a legitimate reason for your changes.
It might however be the way lupus is throwing the cards at 40.
I was'nt much help but I do wish you well it finding answers
