Hello all,
First blog from a recently diagnosed seronegative suffer. Starting sulfasasalinze on Wednesday when my bloods come back, just wondering does anyone have any idea how this drug tends to react with people?
I think I am bullet proof as for the past four months I've been chomping on co-codamol,arcoxia and tramadol.0 -
Hello, I'm on sulph, I have been since 2002 and it's not interfered with work or my arthritis. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Thanks DD,
Was it the 3 months before sulf began to work? Also do you need to use painkillers?0 -
As I said, it's never interfered with my arthritis (I have psoriatic) but it does help to keep my skin clear of the psoriasis part of my affliction. The meds that control the PsA are injected methotrexate and humira and yes, pain dullers are an essential part of my daily routine. I keep them to the minimum as I need to function so I can work so I take 30/500 cocodamol, usually four per day but currently I'm up to six due to extra stress factors in life.
All the meds are given a timescale of between 2 - 12 weeks before any difference might be felt. If you post again on the Living with Arthritis part of the forum more people will answer with their sulph experiences, that's the place that meds etc are usually discussed.

Thanks DD
I will take your advice on meds and ask around on the other part.
As for experience with work, as a joiner my life has been turned upside down. Just today after a long meeting my right knee packed in as I couldn't get mobile. I really don't know what to do in such situations, do I flag it up and say I have issues and risk the consequences of my boss possibly wondering why he employs a person to do physically intensive work who can't do it, or do I say nothing?0 -
everyones different, i couldnt take sulfasalaazine as got awful headaches. id say 7 weeks plus, thats what it was with the MXT when they said 12 weeks.0
