Thank you for your interest in asking....

I developed severe itching all over my body. I would not swear that it was the Plaquenil that caused the itching since I was already taking it for maybe a month or two. However, since it was the only new medicine I was taking then, and there was no unusual food intake, I called the rheumy clinic and I was told to stop it. I was given several anti-histamine, but to no avail. Just two weeks after the incident, the itch became pain. Its the same pain I am experiencing in my skin now.

In case, the rheumy would get me back on Plaquenil, I dont know what to do...
