Default Plaquinil and neuropathy

Hi.
I have a question for Mrs D:
As you know me from other threads, I have leucoclastic vasculitis. The rheumotolagist has started me on Plaquinil in September or so. I had a couple of attacks with arthalgia and the burning neuropathy pain has just been getting worse and worse. The doctor has been trying to find other autoimmune conditions as well. Have had so many tests. She prescribed Methatrexate and prednisone, but we put in on hold for now, waiting for a sure diagnosis. But she said, after I have had the tests for neuropathy and/or nerve biopsy, I can go ahead with the methatrexate and prednisone.

I have the feeling that the reason for the neuropathy might be the vasculitis, because it is burning everywhere.
I also read your post earlier that Plaquinil also was on the list of meds making neuropathy worse? Correct?
