I have been on plaquenil for a couple years and just recently started methotrexate. My doc told me to be patient and give it a few more months before making a decision of whether or not it is helping. I swell up in my legs, knees, ankles and feet.

BeautifulSC: for how long have you taken plaquenil and methotrexate? I started this pass june with the treatment and I dont see any change with the swelling of my hands and ankles. Specially in the mornings and nights its worse the swelling. The rheumy did a lupus test, but she said I dont have it. Is it common if you have primary sjogrens to have swelling in the hands and ankles?
