I've been put on methotrexate and sulphasalazine for my crohn's symptoms, a week ago, I've had diarrhoea and sickness for almost a year, it got to the point i couldn't cope with feeling ill, drained and weak any longer. I've been told it will take at least 3 weeks to start working, but after a week I already feel a bit better, it makes me dizzy the new meds, but somehow my 'output' is suddenly thicker (I have a stoma), can it be they are working so soon? I'm also on prednisolone and have been for over a month, but so far have only stopped the arthritic pains, the bowels stayed the same

it could be working or it could be placebo symptoms anyway i hope this works out for you and that it helps your co -worker understand the disease good luck and god speed
