Subject: coming off Sulphasalazine
Hi, I have a terrible red itchy rash all over my arms, round my neck and top of my feet, but its not due to sun as I always cover up since being on sulpha. G.P. has taken me off sulpha because he says it is one of the side effects. I did notice that an Australian piece say it was a well known side effect, might be me but I never noticed that said on any of my info leaflets. I have been on it now for about 9 months. Just wondered if anyone knew how long is it before one starts to notice any difference coming off it? (that sounds posh doesn't it!!) I am still on plaquenil, mtx and folic acid. Plus I am off my steroids totally now and my g.p. also took me off anti inflammatory - so my tablet box is looking quite empty at moment, which is nice. I am waiting to go onto my antibiotic protocol treatment but at moment I feel okay, although I do know my fingers have got damage in the middle joint. any help is appreciate. Julie xx
