I was actually wondering (when looking over the chart) how many really report the adverse reactions. I'm sure it's low. But I think the reporting (or lack of) would be representative of all side-effects. I mean, I don't think only the GI upsets gets reported and the neuropathy doesn't, so the position on the scale is likely correct (GI being highest and neuro being lowest)...if that made any sense at all (can't figure out a good way to explain my thought). But the % is probably higher for ALL side-effects.

I wonder if the use is higher now that autoimmune disease diagnosis has risen...especially Sjogren's, and this is the first line treatment. On the Sjogren's forum, a good 75% take Plaquenil...maybe even more.

But either way, NO drug should be taken unless absolutely needed and I don't see it as a benefit for Healthgirl to solely treat neuropathy.
