Devie – I believe you are panicking and expecting results way too soon. It would be good for you to study the wealth of information on the main RBF site, which will help put things in perspective. I am assuming you've read the Henry Scammell book too. You could also go to the search funtion on this board for “herx” and something like “improvement”. Results from this protocol are, what John McDonald has often said “glacial” – you almost dont notice that they are happening until one day you suddenly notice differences that have crept up on you. The good news is that  these are actual improvements in your condition, not just masking of symptoms/pain. I would also search the old board – Cheryl F put up the details of how to access it last week. There is a wealth of useful posts on there about the very things you are asking about. It would also be good if you could edit your profile and, in your signature line, put in your diagnosis, how long on AP and what you're taking – it helps for people to respond appropriately when they see that info. One month on mino is hardly any time at all. You may be getting a herx that is mino related and/or from stopping the sulfasalazine. Educate yourself as far as possible and please be patient, whilst, of course, asking for support from the folks on the Board. Best, Lynnie.
