South,
I've been following your story and I'm sorry you've been having so much trouble. I noticed that no one has replied to your post. I don't know a whole lot about Sulfasalazine. My doctor wanted me to take it along with my Plaquenil but I was hesitant because its an antibiotic and I'm prone to candida infections. The doctor said that its a sulfa drug and I think he said that is was the drug they usually give to pregnant women.
Its also a drug they give to people who have ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel.
I've never had any experience with it. Let me know what you think. So far, the Relafen and Plaquenil are working pretty well for me but I'm afraid that I'll start having side effects from the Relafen. Those anti-inflammatories always seem to irritate my stomach.
Cheri.
