Sore throat Sulfasalizide?

Just curious if anyone else has had a really bad sore throat while taking sulfasalazide? I read on the product info to call my doctor if I developed a sore throat but I feel stupid calling them about it when i don't have a fever or anything. I feel liek crap but I think i am just recovering from yesterdays bleeding episode.

I've been on it about ten days. I am on prilosec so it might not be reflux. Haven't changed toothpaste and it doesn't look any different than usual. But I have really been struggling with sinus and eye problems every since this flare started. I am hoping that it is just post nasal drip.I am on singulair for allergies and it has helped a little bit. It is only sore on the left side. I just feel crapy. I am so irritable I can barely even stand myself. I am wondering if Sulfasalizide can cause mood changes. But I guess I'll just deal with it because the arthritis like symptoms really are a lot better since I've been on it and my bleding and D has stopped. I have read you can get a certain type of blood disorder, some type of anemia I think with sulfasalazide that has sore throat as a symptom but I don't know a lot about it. and I have not been able to take my Iron because of severe C.I am worried about being able to tolerate the meds for UC because I have gone like ten years without having my fibromyalgia sufficiently treated because I just could not take so many of the meds. I just feel like here we go again another med problem. I really hope not. I am going to try to be positive and just chalk it up to allergies for now.

well I know now for sure it is not a blood disorder. I have a terrible cold. Uping my vitamin C today and taking OTC cold med. I hope once my body adjusts to the meds I will stop catching everything under the sun. I wash my hands a lot but when kids sneeze in your face guess that doesn't help. I am hoping I do not end up having to quit working. I was disabled for years with fibromyalgia and just started working again two years ago right befoe I got diagnoised with UC. SO far I've been able to manage becaue I work from home so it makes it easier to handle symptoms but I may not be able to handle being exposed to so many germs. Children are so germy.

thank you for the advice. I called my GI and he said to lower my dose to what it was before I got sick. If my throat isn't better soon I will get checked for strep. I don't know what it is but it is awful. Glad the weekend is near
