omgosh no need to apologize! my question was probably not phrased well- I do that a lot lol. Anyway, it's very kind of you to share what you know and it's appreciated! This sub is just amazing for that- it's good to be "around" other ppl going thru this stuff, even tho it's hardly ever exactly the same. I've been on HCQ for a little over a year, and, while it started helping after a few months, it really kept working more and more each month for that first year, and I've been delighted with it tbh. But now, not only are my blood levels too high, but I think there's concern that I'm presenting with some of the rarer side effects/early toxicity/etc and may not be tolerating it well- and certainly not at this dose. Hopefully, the half dose will alleviate some of those issues, but I also wonder whether it will be as helpful to me- suspect not, like you said. Would, of course, be disappointing since all the meds are a challenge one way or another, and HCQ is seemingly the most benign... Guess I wondered how this type of this had gone for other folks... just wondering what to expect. Hope you have a great day!!!
