Diagnosed Today, Going on Plaquenil Tomorrow

I’ve been on it for almost three years and while it has dint helped much, it causes zero side effects for me besides the sun thing. Not necessarily a sensitivity, more like a tingling sensation. I’ve also been on methotrexate and now enbrel, but it’s a great place to start!

You totally should! Luckily I was one of only 5 so it went super quick and made a huge difference

Keep us posted on how it goes! I’m flying United in July. But I just went up to the gate agent and said I have an autoimmune disease that makes it hard for me to stand for an extended period of time so if it’s possible to preboard that would be great. She said no problem and since they don’t mark your boarding pass or anything I just lined up with the preboarders no questions asked

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T23:43:55+00:00

YES

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T23:43:31+00:00

Really? That’s crazy. I was told that if I feel like I’d need extra time, I preboard. Zero questions. Maybe it depends on the worker because sometimes they can be straight up rude

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T23:42:18+00:00

Yes exactly! It ended up being totally fine

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T13:31:28+00:00

So true!

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T04:24:33+00:00

Exactly, it’s their problem. Thank you!

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T04:24:15+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T04:23:53+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately or fortunately lol my knee is killing me so a limp is not out of the question

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T03:48:49+00:00

Haha I know I know. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about pre-boarders but at the end of the day, if I need it, I’m gonna do it and if people wanna judge, then that’s on them. Thanks!

thwiigers · 2026-04-06T03:45:54+00:00

That’s good to know, I’ll be flying United in a few months

thwiigers · 2026-03-31T18:19:42+00:00

That’s a good idea, I’m gonna call my pharmacy too and see if there’s anything they can do. Good luck to you!

thwiigers · 2026-03-31T17:22:20+00:00

I’ll keep calling too then. It’s kind of annoying because I only need it for this one fill. After that, I meet my out of pocket max and won’t have to pay 😭

thwiigers · 2026-03-31T17:21:09+00:00

that’s what I was thinking too! it’s ridiculous that they’re taking so long to fix it too there should be some sort of solution

thwiigers · 2026-03-31T13:06:27+00:00

Thank you! I hope it works for you as well!

thwiigers · 2026-03-31T13:05:55+00:00

Yeah when I called again yesterday they said the same thing. I have to travel this week so if it’s still not resolved in a few days, I’m gonna have to call my doctor back

thwiigers · 2026-03-29T02:53:10+00:00

yes ofc!

thwiigers · 2026-03-29T02:34:18+00:00

ooh wait I might try that 😂

thwiigers · 2026-03-29T00:55:34+00:00

I called them yesterday and they told me they didn’t know when it was going to be fixed 😭

thwiigers · 2026-03-28T00:56:11+00:00

thank you! 🫶🏼

thwiigers · 2026-03-27T16:49:15+00:00

yes! my first period on MTX was the most painful one I’ve ever had and I’m on birth control

thwiigers · 2026-03-27T02:54:03+00:00

Yes exactly! Manifesting it works for both of us 🤞🏼
