Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Good Morning, I'm taking 2000 mg of sulfasalizine daily plus plaquinel for RA. I read the warnings regarding sulfasalazine and the sun, but assumed that covering up with tons of sunscreen and wearing a hat was sufficient. I spent about 7 hours outside on Saturday, in and out of the sun, and suffered horrible headaches and stomach upset all that evening and all day yesterday. Also, my face is swollen --- it happened before and I thought it was prednisone, but I'm off that now. What is your experience with sulfasalizine and sun exposure? I feel pretty stupid, but was so disappointed. I was feeling nearly normal and was really enjoying being active and outside. best to all.
