Lupus/Arthritis drug [View all]
I don't have a lupus diagnosis, yet. The doctor I've been seeing has been trying to get my hip/knee pain under control before she diagnoses me. She says, however, that I do have the - marker? - for lupus.
She's had me on etodolac for pain for about six weeks. It helps, but not a whole lot, and not consistently.
Two weeks ago she added Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine). To my surprise, the combination is working pretty well. Thank you, Dr. Nandipati!
But I have a problem: since I've been taking the Plaquenil, I've been having anxiety attacks. Not full-blown - it's mostly the physical feeling of an anxiety attack, with the blood running cold, and the weakness in the chest and just generally that I get.
Even pseudo-anxiety attacks - that's all I need. Has anyone else had this problem?
