Link to info on Plaquenil and Vitamin D/Calcium depletion

I knew I wasn't going off my rocker!  I read this regarding Plaquenil, for anyone who is a DSer and taking Plaquenil for Lupus.

I have taken Plaquenil for my Lupus and RA for 6 months with no positive effect. I have on the other hand become dizzy and nauseas, highly forgetful like I'm always making mistakes. I actually feel worse on plaquenil than I did without it. I am sure it works for some people but I am not one of them.

I'm in the minority with you, Rachael.  I've taken it for years and the most I can see that it does is give me heartburn...  I keep taking it tho, because in over 5 years I've never had another flare of RA or Lupus, so I'm sure it's doing it's job....  That's something in itself!
