Subject: Sulfalazine

I am due to start taking sulfalazine in a week or so and I am quite anxious about taking it. I took Plaquenil for ten weeks recently and had horrendous side effects after the ten weeks, had to immediatly stop it and was off work for a month. Only just feeling better again. Stopped steroids three weeks ago as well so am now finding I am getting symptons back again (stiffness, tiredness etc). Had a slow release steroid injection two days ago at the hospital and a prescription for salfalazine. After the planquenil experience it scares me to start another DMARD but I obviously need to take something. Does sulfalazine have any effect on your hair? Thanks, Gillian
