A member asked:
How often should one with stable lupus and secondary sjogrens with no organ involvement see their rheumatologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-4 months: This depends on the prior history of your disease, current medications , and current symptoms. Some mecications require more frequent monitoring. Prior problems may require a closer watch. In general 3-4 months if your only medication is plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) and you are stable.
