I was prescribed hydroxychloroquine in Dec. I take Humira injections every 2 weeks for my ra. I have been on Humira over 5 years and at one time was taking mextotreate. Was doing great so the dr dropped the mextotreate. Have been off of it for 2 years and have been great until the last few months of 2016, swelling and puffiness in mainly my hands. Doctor put me on hydroxychloroquine and a regiment of prednisone (30 pills) in 7 days. Middle of Jan when it was time to refill the hydroxychloroquine was no longer covered by my ins and was more than I could afford so I stopped taking it. Now for the last two weeks I have had a constant headache and my neck is so painful I can barely turn it from side to side. No swelling has returned yet but this med did not seem to help me. I also keep "gunk" in my eyes, especially when I wake up and they stay very dry and red. I have really felt bad the last couple of weeks. Could it be from stopping the hydroxychloroquine.
