Dear Alison,

While I am not a doctor, I too went through the Sulph route. If 5 a

day for 3 months is not working, it probably will not work. I got some relief

at 6 per day after two months, but too many side effects. I am on MTX now and

it is beginning to work a little after 2 months. I am at 15 mg injected,

which I do not believe is enough yet to be effective. Be aggressive with your

doctor. If your liver tests are within the normal range ask about MTX -- or

find another doctor.
