Havent been on the drug very long for it to really show me effectiveness. I had to stop the use due to hives & itching. The itching was so severe that i actually have skin abrasions now.

I dont know what is worse, the pain from my RA or the itching.

I was diagnosed with RA almost two years ago at age 33. I tried MTX and Enbrel and couldnt tolerate. The RA was so bad at one point I could barely walk, crying in pain, holding the wall to help me up. I started Sulfazine EC and havent had any stomach upset. This medication has been a life-saver for me. I noticed more mobility and less fatigue shortly after starting it. Its been about 5 months now, ... Show Full Comment

This medication has been a life-saver for me. I noticed more mobility and less fatigue shortly after starting it. Its been about 5 months now, and although Im not in remission, and still have trouble with my knees, I just recently started going for walks again and feel like Im getting my life back. This med doesnt make me sick, just dizziness in the beginning. Its an older med, but it works for me.

Overall experience has been good. Drug taking max. Time to achieve effectiveness, but first time in 10 months my sed rate is gettingbback to a more normal rate. Also taking it with antiinflamitory. Have somewhat effected appetite, but ok as I can stand to loss a few pounds. The hard part was getting up to full doing. Doc slowly added pills to get me up to dosage.

I used this in addition to Enbrel because of flare ups. It worked, however it took away my desire to eat. I simply didn't want to eat. Was already thin, and lost another 5 pounds. Stopped drug, started prednisone, and everything improved.
