I have had RA for 3 years now. I was hesitant to go on meds, Ask an Expert

Medical Advice

I have had RA for 3 years now. I was hesitant to go on meds because my orthopedic told me the meds would kill me before the disease! I have now gone on sulfasalazine. I have been on it for about six weeks.showing some signs of improvements! I was wondering if anyone is on this medication and does anyone feel a little nervous or anxious from this medication? I also wonder if someone has had longterm results? I only have wrist involvement and two fingers. I sometimes feel extremly week and low energy! Is this common or could it be from medication? I sometimes feel like I can barely make it through my work day! Is anyone out here from Lancaster pa area would love to be able to meet someone. From area that I could relate to who also has RA?
