Day one

Today is the day I start on sulfasalazine. Mtx made me so ill. Only after stopping it have I truly seen how sick, tired and spaced out it made me feel. I am hoping the Sulfasalazine is going to be the one that works for me.

Hope you all are having a pain free Sunday xxx

I was on Methotrexate injections and I was terribly ill on it, sulphasalazine however was great, no side effects for me and seems to be doing the job!! Hope it works for you as well.

I was the same with mtx, had to stop as I was so ill with it and covered me with a rash. I now take sulfasalazine 2000 mg a day with no side effects, and I sworking for me, it is a wonder drug for me, hope it does the same for you. Good luck.
