Hi all,
I was recently dx'd with uctd and fibro and have been on plaquenil for 2 1/2 months. I know it takes 3-6 months (sometimes longer) for it to take effect, but what I want to know is how much better can I expect to feel?
The pain, while bad, can be relieved a little by NSAIDS, but it's really the fatigue that is debilitating. I'm off work right now and really most times lately I can barely get up.
I don't expect to be superwoman, but I long for the day when I can at least function to some degree. I guess we all feel like we've lost so much of ourselves, I just want to know how much I can expect to improve.
I don't post much, but I read your posts daily.
Thanks so much
