Many of the symptoms I was having like chills/sweats, hair loss/thinning, swollen face, swelling around the eyes, itching, rash, stomach upset were on the list. I just thought I'd put this out there for you all so you are aware. The side-effects seem excessive for an approved medication. This is prescribed to many people with arthritis. I'm not suggesting you go off it, just if you have some symptoms you can't nail down maybe talk to your doctor about it.

Been on it for a couple of years; haven't experienced any of the side effects listed; I sure can tell when I miss it for a couple of days. ☹️
