Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hello, I'm still off meds and doing fairly well (went on a bicycle trip last weekend and did 27 miles one day) but because of mild achiness and stiffness in my hands, I'm considering taking the sulfasalazine the rheumy prescribed. However, I just researched common side effects, and saw that headache and malaise are common, as well as diarrhea. It's hard to think about taking something that could cause those things at a time when I am feeling pretty good! Also, because of its yellow-orange color, the med causes urine, sweat and tears to turn orange! The orange sweat can even stain clothing. Yuck. And yet, I want to prevent joint damage... Just thinking aloud here. Thanks for listening. Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
