Off sulfasasazine.

I am on leflunomide. And come of sulfasasazine and have noticed a difference already, as I don't. Feel as tired as I was. I don't. Even have to have a sleep in the afternoon anymore. The down side is, headaches, very painful mouth as in raw gums and swollen gums, I do suffer from gum disease but this seems to make it worse. Had a bit of diarrhoea very suddenly a few days ago and last week. But that seems to have moved on for now. It's just so nice not to feel fatigued.

Thanks for listening.

Hi Carol! I stopped taking sulfasalazine last year. My hubby was overseas at the time and boy, did he notice a difference when he came home! I had so much energy that I had totally cleaned our patio and had started my "jungle" garden on it in the 3 weeks he was gone. I had also taken our grand daughter for week and between us we had cleaned the front yard too. Little less energetic this year but here's hoping I find some!

Have a lovely day!

Dani
