Tapering
Aloha!
When I was tapering the cyclo after my first treatment, I had stiff joints first thing every morning. I asked the hematologist and he said that it is not unusual to experience symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis when tapering. Ra is another auto-immune disease, as I understand it. When I stopped tapering, the stiffness went away.
You did not mention if you are taking Neupogen. That can also cause joint pain.
