Although I really felt a difference in the month that I took this med (w/plaquenil) the HAIR loss was too much for me! So now I'm going to try sulfasalazine...

it has lots of unpleasant side effects but I will take them gladly mtx makes my ra tolerable, I take mtx, humira, prednisone and pain med this is the best med combo so far, if I could stay on mtx same dosage and dr not holding it because of bad labs I think my quality of life would improve more but its not always an option since labs are a factor and mtx causing low numbers Nd blood transfusions

This along with Plaqueil and Prednisone for now. Feeling very overwhelmed not knowing how the meds will affect me. It amazes me how many people don't really grasp the amount of pain that comes with RA. I suppose I will update at a later time with results. Good ones I hope.
