Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I was told that I have rheumatoid arthritis a few months back.  I have been on Plaquenil now for almost 2 months.  It has helped with the pain in my hands and feet.  I still have swollen fingers but am waiting for the full affects of the drug.  I do not know how common this is but the side effect that I am having is hair loss.  I am guessing it wouldn&#039;t be as bad if I was a male but being a female.  I am hoping this stops after my body gets used to the medicine because I am very discouraged with that aspect."
