My neuropathy started after taking Plaquenil. Note: this is post is not to say that Plaquenil causes PN. In my case, Plaquenil was the only new medicine I was taking then. It took, if I remember right, 2-3 months before I felt the sudden itchiness all over my body, the itchiness became pain.... and the pain became constant.

Plaquenil was given to me for my osteoarthritis. I could not take anything with aspirin or Ibuprofen.
