Plaquenil: What you need to know...

Do you take Plaquenil to treat your Lupus symptoms? It seems to be the go to drug with a great deal of Lupus patients! I know this is what my mom takes daily. I also know that a close family friend was taking Plaquenil to treat her Lupus symptoms as well, however she needed to stop taking it because she was loosing her vision.

My mom goes for eye test regularly, and to date, her vision has remained the same!

It is so IMPORTANT to follow up with your ophthalmologist regularly!

Molly's Fund has posted an article packed full of information for those taking Plaquenil! Check it out here!

As a Lupus patient, do you suffer from low vitamin D levels? My mom and I have both had to prescriptions because of low vitamin D levels. I can't help but wonder if there is a correlation between Lupus and Vitamin D levels. Molly's Fund published and article discussing the correlation between the two.

What do you think?
