Scared to start Plaquenil because of hives
Hi everyone, I’m hoping to hear about your experiences with Plaquenil. My doctor recently prescribed it to me, and I was actually really relieved to finally have something that might help with my lupus. I also have vasculitis and APS, and the most debilitating issue for me day to day has been severe hives. After reading through posts here, I’ve seen some people mention that Plaquenil made their hives worse, and now I’m honestly really scared to start it. My hives have already been so intense that it’s been affecting my mental health, and I’m worried about making them worse.
I don’t see my doctor again for a while so I was wondering if anyone here has experience with Plaquenil and hives, especially if you also deal with vasculitis or APS. I know everyone reacts differently but hearing how it went for others would really help me feel a bit less in the dark.
Thank you 🤍
