Inflammation and mood

[cathie]

Did anyone hear this on bbc radio 4 yesterday afternoon? bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001z6pj

I think this is the one I heard yesterday but it links treatment with biologics with improved mood. For me the first sign that my rituximab needs to be renewed is feeling low, a malaise. Happy to hear this is being taken seriously by medics. My rheumy is puzzled but says that as I've had RA since 1999 i know it better than anyone. Important for medics to listen to the patients, then apply their knowledge.

This whole mind-body research is interesting for anyone with a chronic illness I think. I tried Nerva hypnotherapy for IBS and it has brought me benefits. Not a miracle cure but I persisted beyond the 6 weeks initial programme and its certainly helped me to relax and de-stress.
