Prescribed Ofev, anyone have experience with this drug?

I took Ofev for a couple of years. The first 3 weeks after starting it were the worst. Stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue. Then my body seemed to adjust to it. I did take it with an antidiarhheal if I was going to be away from the house. Also drank a protein drink with it. Make sure you take it with a relatively high protein, not just carbs. And take it in the middle of your meal, dont wait five or ten minutes after you've eaten and then take it.

Thanks for the tips. I'm curious as to why you were prescribed it and why you stopped taking it. I have some lung damage from RA and scleroderma and the doctor hopes it will slow the progression of damage.
