I have tried A, C & R in that order. With A & R had such prob w/fevers that it wasn't worth it. I stayed on each for 6 months.

In between I tried C along with Imuran. As posted elsewhere today, C caused so much body dents that after a couple years I was taken off and stayed on the Imuran.

I stopped when I moved out here. Suffered through R in 2/06 thru 6/06. After 1st exacerbation in nearly 6 years. I took generic tylenol every 4 hours (yes I set an alarm) day and night to keep fever at bay on R.

After a year with several episodes that flared and recovered got doc to put me on Imuran in 12/06. I've still got intense hand pain that has not been relieved, yet.
