| Add Plaquenil review I can use my hands and fingers again, the silent no pain migraines are less, my Achilles and feet hardly hurt, the face rash is 70% better.I have very fast heart rate and a permanent acid stomach, my legs and feet and sometimes my whole body swells, sometimes my legs are so inflamed I cannot bend them and walking is not possible. Stomach cramping is less severe but more frequent. I find I am out ... allerigic reaction with sores all over the body For SLE. Took a good 5 months to really work, but has really helped pleuritis and joint swelling. Some problems with vivid dreams and stomach issues at first. Dreams calming down and stomach issues are gone now. | Add Quinine review I have suffered for years with leg cramps and have been using quinine for the past ten years without any side effects. It has been a saviour for many a sleepless knight due to the leg cramps. I can't get it in the US and have to go to Canada to get an RX filled as I can't afford the cost in the US and my medical does not cover it. My md will no longer give me an RX and I am at a loss as to what else to use. Miraplex does not work. This medication has not worked for me. I have very itchy lower arms and stomach pains. It also leaves a very bitter taste in mouth as well. I think I would rather do without | |||
