Hi
Milly, Plaquenil has been both my and my RD's drug of choice for SS
for several years. I attempted to discontinue it a few months ago with
dire results: a corneal abrasion and subconjunctival hemorrhage. I also
experienced oral lesions and a compromise of mucous membrane integrity,
orally and nasally. All resolved within several weeks of resuming
Plaquenil therapy.
Plaquenil does help. As do protective eye
wear, moisture preserving nighttime goggles, frequent use of artificial
tears and saline nasal spray, and, here in the desert, it is important
to have a humidifier!
Thanks for your welcome. Joan
