Now I have a new Rhuematogist that has decided that my dx was premature and possibly wrong because my ANA never supported the dx even though my eyes are extremely dry and my paratid glands stop up, swell up and hurt. He took me off plaquenil 6 weeks ago to get it out of my system so he can have a lip biopsy done.
Meanwhile ...
a 46 year old scar on my forehead has become lumpy and red, my eyes are redder and I feel out of breath and like my chest is compessed as well as my lower legs hurting. I did a little internet search and scar sarcoidosis popped up. I'm certainly not self diagnosing myself but I see plaquenil is a drug used to treat both conditions so I can't help but wonder what you all think.
Do your old scars become inflammed?
Are you out of breath feeling but do not have a cough? The chest thing makes me wonder if I need to make an appointment with my gp .. it's uncomfortable but not painful so I'm kinda waiting it out.
Anyway if you read all this I certainly appreciate your time.
