Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am on the medicine Sulfa. When does it help???? I been taking it for about 6 months now. Clora May From: bon_mac18 <bon_mac18@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Prednisone Date: Saturday, July 19, 2008, 12:51 PM Hi , I've been on prednisone for just over a month now & it had a noticeable affect within the first week. The swelling in my wrists & fingers have gone down a lot, and my knees aren't as stiff. I still have a lot of pain in my left knee (sometimes it feels like I have glass on the end of each leg bone). I think the sulfasalazine is starting to kick in now, I hope, as I had a good knee day yesterday Planning on going for a ride today after work, so that will test it! So far I have had only a few bad headaches from the sulfasalazine, the first couple of days I started & then the ones after I up-dosed to 2 twice a day. Haven't noticed any side effects from the prednisone yet. Gland behind my ear has come up again though (Doc said it was probably a virus). gently hugs... Sharon of Oz > > > Hey gang!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have been on Pred.and MTX. from the start for my RA. My Rheumy added Sulfa and Placquenil 1 1/2 years ago. I am feeling very good, and still decreasing the Pred. I hope to be off it by Aug. 9th. It took time to find the right meds. and doses. The Sulfa and Placquenil made the diff. for me. I hope this info. helps, and wishing everyone pain free days. You all are so great and caring.
