Before you start Plaquenil, you may want to make sure they run the SSA-SSB antibodies that are specific for Sjogren's & maybe do a Schirmer's eye test that checks your tear production. Plaquenil can cause PN unfortunately, many drugs to treat autoimmune disorders can have untoward side effects. I was thought to have this earlier on in my PN journey & took Plaquenil for about 7 yrs, my bloodwork & other testing was negative so I stopped taking it.
