Hello Laura,

Welcome to the community!

When you are first diagnosed, you'll want to gather as much info on your diseases as you can.

Start here: The Basics of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Also, click the link below to find more information on Sulindac:

Sulindac Info

If you're feeling wary of the drug, you should tell your doctor about your concerns and have him or her answer any questions you have.
