Comment:
Started taking 2x500 mg twice a day 2 months ago along with hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily and prednisone 5 mg once daily.I get no relief and the pain is increasing to unbearable levels .Only relief I get is if I stop prednisone for four days and take 5 X 5mg pills in one dose.It buys me one day of relief.Bad place to be and is causing depression to set in.
