I don't know any reason you could not just stop it.

You mean to say it is CAUSING you pain?
I seems to make the pain WORSE. I am trying to recall how this happened. Regular joint pain seemed to improve, at first. Then joint pain from h*ll. It has been off and on like this since and has spread.

I read that this could cause vasculitis, hypersensitivity, or even Gout attacks when you first start it, but I would think you'd have to have Gout first... Maybe I will end up having to have a joint aspiration to see if crystals are in joints... This does NOT sound fun...

P.S. In between ice packs, I am trying to work on a "cat" quilt...
