I suddenly developed pancreatitis. I was hospitalized 9 days and had multiple tests and could find no underlying condition causing pancreatititis. I was taken off plaquinil as the doctors thought it may have caused my illness. Is there any evidence you are aware of concerning this? I felt well and my skin was better when I was taking the medication.

My research shows it’s not approved anymore by the FDA. It’s the only drug that has not produced paradoxical reactions. If it’s still out there, where can I tell my rheumatologist and dermatologist to find it.
