Hello, I have not posted in a while. I had my 6 month Rheumatologist appt yesterday and he wanted to start me on Asulfadine. I have mild inflammatory arthritis and mild RA.
He wants me to continue the Plaquenil. I will start on a low dose (2x a day) 500 mg. I go back in 3 months to see if it is helping. Then he will decide if he wants to cut back on my Plaquenil dosage.
The reason he is adding this medication is because I have had more flares in between visits and he feels like the Plaquenil is not working as well as it has in the past.
I would just like to know if anyone is or has taken this medication and what results they got or have had or any side effects.
I know everyone is different but I am always scared of taking something new and dreading if the side effects will happen to me. The last thing I want is to feel ill on feeling ill.
Thank you for any information you can contribute. Raeann
