Hello all
I have started taking Plaquenil about 6 weeks ago, and 4 weeks ago started
having leg pains, which have become increasingly worse to the point where I
can now only walk about 20 yards pain free, before being crippled by
terrible terrible pain. GP prescribed painkillers, physio says its
sciatica, but I'm wondering whether its a lupus thing, or a Plaquenil thing,
as previous tablets I took to try and stop the migraines caused leg pains
and muscle weakness.
Also, this is strange but not really a problem... my toenails keep dying and
falling off... I've lost 5 already! Anybody else get this problem?
TIA
Avril

| Sorry about not responding. I have not had Plaquenil cause any more muscle
pain or weakness than I already have. The only medication that I have taken
that did was meds for lowering my cholestrol.
Also I don't have any experience with toenails dying and falling off. Have
you asked your doctor about it and what could be causing it?
Hugs,
Sherry
