Well, here goes! I like and trust my PCP, he wants me to give the
Plaquinel a chance, very low dose to begin and add slowly to the dose
the Rheumy wants, so see a eye doctor on the 13th of Sept, then I
reckon I start the med. Doc is all concerned now, duh, I was diagnosed
in 1999 in Oklahoma.

Thanks for your patience and support, I only wish I knew more of how to
do and say right things for all of you, I know so little of Lupus. Its
hard to figure out.
hugs to all,
Zinn
