I'm on 3 rd wk 3 500mg daily - the headaches & being tired is already miserable. Yet the increased pain in my joints is unbearable actually feels like a full on flare - my hips ,wrists & feet are aching more then ever . Even with increased pain meds I am getting no relief I feel 100times worse with the meds then I did without them . Also taking 5mg prednisone which dose seem to make a difference since increased dose to 3 Sulfasalazine. Any one else experienced this?? I have RA & PSA
