 Started this medicine on Monday and seem to be getting some relief. It's used for malaria prevention and cure, but it has good anti-inflammatory properties. I hope it works out for me. Maybe other pain suffers can try it.

 i'm sorry, I missed this post. yes, plaquinil is supposed to be a good med for us. Funny, I was supposed to be taking it for the past 5 years for lupus, but haven't because I didn't think lupus was my problem (as it turns out, it's not) but now I have a ton of it, I didn't realize it had such good anti inflam properties, I guess I'll start taking it! Just be sure to have your eyes checked, it can cause eye problems.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
