Title: Hello
Post by: cstorts1 on April 13, 2017, 07:33:55 PM

Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cori. I'm 24 years young and have had a lot of health issues since I was 17. Diagnosed with Sjogren's in 2012. Just recently started plaquenil in the hopes that it eases all the symptoms. I believe I was a member of this forum before my life started going crazy. Glad to be able to be back on, and look forward to talking with you all again

Hi cstorts1  :)

Welcome to Sjogren's world. Were you told that Plaquenil can take quite a few months to work? Also to wean onto it slowly and to always take it with food. It's definitely helped quite a few of us. Others have side effects. Hope it works for you.

Hope you find the forum helful. It's certainly friendly.

Take care - Scottie  :)

I started plaquenil in the beginning of February. I have been noticing a slight difference in the pain levels and energy over the last few weeks. pain is beginning to be more tolerable and ny ebergy has improved greatly.
