People with lupus only take the drug during a flare up
No, I need to take hydroxychloroquine daily for my lupus. I stopped once before because I was suffering internal bleeding and the doc thought it might be causing the bleeding, but I was in the hospital a month later because I stopped with extremely low blood pressure. It’s not something you can just stop or take whenever you need it. I’ve been trying to get a refill for two weeks now with no luck. There’s not a pill to have in California. Doctor said best option for me now is drinking tonic water and hoping that will be enough to hold off the inevitable. I want everyone to get well, but I need my medicine too.
