Can't tell if I'm sicker because of the Plaqenil or from stopping Omnnicef.

I know LLMD must do trial and error, kind of a guessing thing. Therefore, real life experience from others seems to me to be the way to go.
So, here I am asking again, I think I posted similar question before, (sorry) but hoping for more replies this time.

Late stage Lyme & Bart...other infections likely but not tested for due to $

Thanks,

Beagle

It gave me bad stomach pain so I never got very far with it. Hope you can figure it out.

When I first started plaquenil it definitely made me feel sicker. I had to work up to the full dose. Maybe a babs flare? Now I feel worse when I try to lower the dose. It's definitely been a helpful drug for me in the long run.

good luck,
Pam

I just started it about 2 weeks ago. The first few days I was really tired. After that, I haven't noticed anything different from my normal symptoms except that my joints may be cracking even more than they already do.

No -- no effect either way.
