Thanks for all the replies.  I have a friend who takes it for Lupus, one a week and it makes her nauseous and gives her headaches for the day.  I worry about her.  Thanks again.

I took it for two years for an auto immune disease.  I took it once a week.  It gave me hives, so I had to take a benadryl an hour before taking it.
