Advice & Tips
This medication is kind of hard to swallow so I pop it in half to make it easier. Between this pill and my Flaxseed and Fish Oil they were all getting stuck in my throat.

Advice & Tips
Look very closely at the side effects, and talk to your p.c.p. (if you have one) about treatment options. This medication treats the inflammation, but will not help you manage your disease further than that.

Advice & Tips
I started getting severe tinnitis... ringing in my ears. It's taken months for it to quiet down but finally has...when my blood pressure is up or sometimes just because I'll still get sudden sharp ringing.

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).

Advice & Tips
it was an experiment anyway. found out i probably do NOT have ankylosing spondylitis because this medicine did nothing for me other than make my urine smell VERY BAD. it *is* a sulfer drug after all lol it made it smell like i ate nothing but asparagas and brussel sprouts for a week straight every single time i had to pee. it was embarrassing to say the least! lol
