Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Welcome to the group, Toni! Glad that you found us. I hope you can figure out what the problem is with the Azulfidine (sulfasalazine). Sorry that it is making you feel so sick. Did your doctor start you on a low dose and tell you to gradually increase it?

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hi , Thank you so much for your support it really does mean a lot to me my doctor has started me out on 500mg twice a day but since I was getting so ill from it she told me to take one a day and work my way up to two times a day. But now I have been having bad flares every night as of late which is very hard my husband trys so hard to understand everything I am going through but he just cant. Bless his heart as he trys so hard to do things that might help such as massageing me and etc. But I know things have to get better. I have also found out that I have some abnormal readings on my liver now which we are going to watch closely you would think they could come out with something that would help us live a some what normal life with out damaging are organs I guess you can call me confused in Colorado. I hope things are going good for you and again thanks for listing. May God Bless You And Keep you Safe. Hugs and Love Toni <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: Welcome to the group, Toni!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hi what are they doing for the liver??? is there not something that can aid your liver in detoxification either from the drugs or ra?? does anybody else take anything for this situation? sam [ ] Hi I am a new member > > > > Hi My name is Toni I am a 32 year old female that has Rheumatiod > > Arthritis and I am looking to make some new friends that also know > > what it is like to suffer from this.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hi the only thing that my doctor has told me is that it is nothing to be scared of or worry about and that my liver being abnormal will just make her job harder because it will limit the meds she can put me on but she also did say that the liver can heal its self which I guess is good news as long as we dont damage it more by the meds I have to take for the RA. But so far today is a pretty good day for me. Thanks for you concern God Bless Hugs and Love Toni " dot.com " <dot.communicator@...> wrote: Hi what are they doing for the liver??? is there not something that can aid your liver in detoxification either from the drugs or ra?? does anybody else take anything for this situation? sam [ ] Hi I am a new member > > > > Hi My name is Toni I am a 32 year old female that has Rheumatiod > > Arthritis and I am looking to make some new friends that also know > > what it is like to suffer from this.
