Holiday break sulfa!?

[Jamarruk]

Now week 10 of the above; still can’t get past 3 per day but pain is down and I’ve even been able to do more than a few 5k runs.

However had some winter sun last week and due to being so relaxed and a lot of booze; most days I only took one tablet.

Back home now; should I build back up to 3; or just get back on it !?!

Hi if I were you I’d see how you go on just 1. Monitor yourself for a week to 10 days. If you get worse then go back to what you were on.

I’m probably about to start sulphasalazine myself next week. How do you find it?

I'm just starting week 3 today of Sulphasalazine, no side effects so far, but I have felt really fatigued, down & in pain for the last 3-4 days. I'm just on pain killers and had to stop ibuprofen as it was causes issues with my liver. Just off for fortnightly blood tests now.

What's stopping you taking more than 3, is it side effects?

I would speak to rheumatology nurse for advice.

All the best going forward.
