new to RA

I was recently diagnosed with RA. My Rheumatologist started me on Plaquenil, which is making me feel very nauseas. I was wondering if any one had some good advice or tips that would help. My problem areas are hands, neck and hip area. Any excercises or therapy that might be beneficial. I go back to the doctor next month.
