Rheumatoid Arthritis
"Started this medicine very slowly (10mg every other day) for 4 weeks, as I was nervous about a couple specific side effects (stomach &amp; higher blood pressure).  The only side effect during that time was headaches.  Then I couldn&#039;t wait to increase to 10mg every day due to a great deal of pain, and my stomach and blood pressure were stable.  Just by increasing it from 4 tabs a week to 1 tab every day I&#039;ve only had a couple small headaches, and pain was greatly decreased in my fingers.  So far (at 3 weeks) still leaves a lot to desire.  My wrist still hurts a great deal, having moderate upper GI problems (extra &quot;severe&quot; acid reflux), hair thinning, and concerns about the future and/or long term side effects.  Will stay on it for now."
