              This is fantastic. Thank you! I am 6 months post stoppage of Keytruda, and doing 95% better with joint mobility, thanks to sulfasalazine. It did indeed take a while to kick in….. 5-6 weeks… but thus far, does not seem to be causing any detrimental side effects. My rheum put me on Naproxen, overlapping the Sulfasalazine, to control inflammation while the DMARD had a chance to kick in. It's soooooo nice to be able to get back to normal activities… and SLEEP again!
