I really recommend you check out BYDLS...alot of the girls on there are on or have been on Plaquenil (sp?). I know they have regular eye tests to check they're still okay.
Thinking of the future, I'd really try and get your weight under control (have you considered a hypoglycaemic diet? It helps the Fibro too) so that steroids are an option. You may well really need them somewhere down the line.
Has anyone suggested Elavil? It's practically the no.1 Fibro drug. And acetamenophin works amazingly well at taking the edge off the pain if you take it regularly....I've found my codeine on it's own does less for my pain than the acetamenophin on it's own!
And a magnesium malate/manganese supplement should help.
