A member asked:
I wanted to know if feeling nauseous constantly has to do with a lupus symptom or a side effect of plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine)?

Could be either: Unfortunately, it could be either a symptom of your lupus or a Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) side effect. Discuss with your rheumatologist.

Maybe Both: More than likely it is the plaquenil, (hydroxychloroquine) but lupus can also affect the GI tract.
