I have a serious case of tinitus and have been diagnosed with RA. I was taking plaquenil for the past year until just recently. I am dizzy and have some numbness and tingling of hands and feet. I am not sure if it all ties together with the autoiumune stuff or just coincidence. The ringing has become awful and one ear is painful. Just came from a walk md but my ears are so full of wax she couldnt see. I am hoping thats all it is.
