I think they cause problems because they suppress the enzyme that creates prostaglandins and there's a prostglandin that protects your stomach lining.

Here, I looked it up just to be sure: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pain-medications/PN00058 There's also tips on how to lessen the side effects; I hope you find something helpful there.

My RA told me I wouldn't see the full effects of plaquenil until the sixth month on it. Are you noticing anything from it yet?

Have you tried amitriptyline? I'm on that right now for pain and sleep, and it's really helping me sleep!

I'm sending you good thoughts this morning, Michele. I hope your swelling goes down and you get some relief. It made me sad to read you can't carry your Coach purse! It reminds of the little things I used to take for granted but can't do right now.
