<< A specialist has recommended a drug called Plaquenil to prevent the TM from
returning. Has anyone heard of it or used it? She is of course worried about
side effects and after almost dying because of Tegretol she is hesitant to
try anymore unfamiliar drugs. I'll try on the net to get more info as well.

Hmmm... I don't think this is right... [Plaquenil to prevent TM] Unless any
of the others with TM have used this... seems a bit drastic for TM....
Plaquenil is an anti-malarial drug... Normally it is used to control the
symptoms of Lupus.... I have been on it for many, many years... and it seems
to help keep the LUPUS under control... I would say since your Aunt has
Lupus~this is probably the reason she is taking the Plaquenil...
I could be wrong... let's see.... Anyone out there taking Plaquenil to
control/prevent TM?
