Had my checkup with opthamologist yesterday and other than the fact I need a new prescription for lenses my eyes are in good shape. No damage from diabetes yet. So that's great. Now it looks like I am ready to start Plaquenel (sp?). Opthamologist said to call him imediately if I start having blurry vision or things don't look right. You know with diabetes sometimes things for me have gotten blurry it's just part of diabetes that I live with. So how will I tell if it's the placquenel or the diabetes? I know it can cause (in very rare istances) serious problems and this somewhat worries me but the complications and progression of RA worries me more. Anyways I was wondering if anyone else has experience with tihs drug and if there is anything else I should know about it other than what RD has told me and what I have learned from drug /side affects info. Thanks everyone. Yes, it's very rare...but you'll want to maybe have a copy of the amsler grid. My doctor told me to have a look at the grid and if I see any wavy lines, or anything that seems off while looking at it to give him a call. Goggle "Amsler Grid" to get more info.
