Irish,

I'm so glad you may be seeing from benefit from the Plaquenil.  It's really seemed to help my energy most days.  Not that I'm running marathons, but I can get more done than I used to. 
My husband really noticed when I was able to plant a few flowers outside this summer, and just pulling the garden hose around a little was a big deal. I didn't have the strength to even water the plants before.

I hope your hands feel better in Dec. too. My knee and foot burning was awful;my knees were so swollen and felt like a 2nd degree sunburn all the time. They still swell but they're not stinging like crazy.

The cold weather can really do us in sometimes.  Let's hope we all have a better fall-winter than normal.
