I have the exact same diagnosis ( lupus. Sjogrens and Fibro) and i have been taking Paquinil for about 4 years. I had my yearly eye exam two weeks ago and everything is fine.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I have been taking Plaquinil for quite some time. It has helped my joints hurting. Don't worry to much about the medication. It's pretty safe as long as she gets her eyes checked once a year or so. They can detect any problems with the Retina.
