I know a lot of people with lupus are on it and some with fibro as

well. More from the posts I've seen on a lupus/fibro group, people

either seem to like it or hate it. I've seen several people say that it

gave them diarrhea for the first several weeks they were on it. Some

people seemed to do better by starting with a really low dose and

working up to a higher one. Hopefully, someone on this group can give

you more info than that.
