I'm glad you found answers, but I'm sorry for the answers you found! Hope your eyes and kidneys check out OK and that the Plaquenil helps you feel better! If you're nervous about having problems when you start it, try to make sure you start it when you've got a couple days off work, just in case (I always started new meds Friday afternoon/evening).
I'll be thinking of you. I hope everything goes well.
