    hi hun. Not sure but it might be an idea to ask your pharmacist? If not, do you have a rheumy nurse to ring? It's probably nothing and there will probably be more responses soon. I've been ok on the sulfa, just losing weight :shock: Lol
    As I say, if you're worried about it ask one of the above or your GP?

    Take it easy :D

    Hopefuly Rebekah you have taken some advice on this by now.

    l know it can turn your wee orange, but gums????

    If you haven't taken advice you can ring NHS direct anytime.

    Fingers crossed for you

    Love
