Side effects:: Dark urine

Date: Jul 16, 2011
Advice & Tips: It took some time for me to feel the effects take place but a few months into it, for the first time in a few years, I had a completely pain-free hand. My blood work improved with sulfasalazine much sooner than I started to feel relief. I had no side-effects whatsoever (aside from yellow pee).
