Hi, have just joined this forum to get info for my partner who had PA diagnosed about 3 weeks ago. He has been on sulphasalazine for 10 days and has had a worsening headache for the last 4. We are thinking this is probably a side efect and he will call our GP tomorrow. If he can't take this I wonder what would be the next step. His next rheumy appt is not until March.
He is 46, a carpenter who works away most of the time and has had symptoms for 7 years. He has no P on his skin although now it looks like he has the nail lesions developing. Other symptoms are dry eyes, severe stiffness, pain in joints and severe pain in his spine and sacroiliac areas.
We have done loads of reaearch on the net and I am a member of other net groups as I have had ME and FMS for 12 years. I make hats, hence the name!!
Funny I only found this site today after trawling the net seemingly continuously the last 2 weeks.
Nice to meet you all.
