I'm doing really badly on this. I'm still only on half a dose daily and I am so tired I could sleep for England. Factor in a period of nausea each day after I have taken the second tablet and you get the picture? It's not a pleasant one. I am fit for nothing after dinner and just want to crash out. I am sleeping about 14 hours a day right now, almost double my usual 8.
All this is somewhat depressing as my hands are like wood again, my knuckles have disappeared under a load of swelling and it takes a good 90 minutes each morning for them to uncurl sufficiently for me to do anything. The Raynauds is worse than ever, my feet hardly ever seem pink at all now and I am wearing 2 pairs of thermal socks most of the time. I am already wearing gloves for part of the day too.
Yesterday we discovered that due to clients holding-up WH's work when they have hitherto been overly concerned that the job go ahead as fast as possible, we could have had our customary autumn trip to Greece after all. We had been thinking of Lesbos again; the birdwatching now is brilliant as the autumn migration gets underway.
All this conspires to make me feel worse, particularly as it was so cold in August here. It seems like winter is going to be very long this time round.

If it's making you feel worse, is there any reason to perservere? Or does it get worse before it gets better??
So sorry you feel so bad, anyway.
Hugs,

It probably takes up to 6 months to have any effect :(
I have today given up, I was so tired I could not do anything, then the other yucky (gut)symptoms returned so I have ditched it.
Quite where that leaves me I'm not sure....
Watch this space.
Jas I'm so sorry for you but I'm not surprised. It's a very unpleasant drug. I think you've given it long enough.
Hope you can come up with something better before long.

Sorry about this Jas, did you have any luck with the locum?
