Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I was put on Sulfasalazine when I was diagnosed in the fall of '01, and was on it until last spring when I lost my insurance. I had absolutely no problems with it. I got health insurance back late summer, so I could have gone back on it. but my rhuemy was very happy with my progress with just being on methotrexate. so that is where I am. Hope that helps. chernie2004 <chernie2004@...> wrote: Has anyone here had any experience with taking Sulfasalazine?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I took Asulfadine (sp?) for my Ulcerative Colitis years ago but had to switch drugs because it made me really nauseous. > > Has anyone here had any experience with taking Sulfasalazine?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thanks for the replies everyone! For now I'm going to see how I do without it. I'd rather have sore joints then headaches anyday...lol. Chernie > > > > Has anyone here had any experience with taking > Sulfasalazine?
