Thank you all so much for responding!
I started taking it in January, taking two 200mg tablets a day for six weeks, and now I'm taking 10 tablets per week. I've only been on it for about 2 months and a week but I've already noticed a significant reduction in my pain, and I'm able to be more active without flaring up afterward. I'm hoping that in another few months I'll be feeling even better. I had the side effect of slight nausea and a little dizziness for about the first week, but since then I've had no side effects. In the time I've been taking it, it's begun lowering my ESR rate according to blood tests.
