Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Sierra, It could be the sulfasalazine. Are you taking folic acid? Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Sierra, sulfasalazine, like methotrexate, is a folic acid antagonist. I would ask your rheumatologist if it's OK to take folic acid along with it. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!
