Hi, Joanna, and thanks.

I may give the prednisone a try even though I'm skeptical. I also noticed that my dry mouth and eyes have been a little worse than normal lately and about a month ago I had my daily plaquenil reduced from 400 mg to 200 mg. It may very well be coincidence because goodness this stuff has fluctuated so much in intensity over the years.

Strangely, it can go from being seemingly almost nonexistent for a few days or if I'm very lucky weeks to severe burning out of nowhere and the dryness.
