Colchicine

I’ve recently been put on daily colchicine after years of treating my behcets-symptoms with prednisone. Its only been about 4 days on colchicine and i still have my mouth ulcers. My question is just this; does anyone have any experience of a potential overdose/allergic reaction by colchicine??

Bleeding gums , help.

I’ve had a lot of bleeding from my gums, not sure if it’s from colchicine, flecainide, bisoprolol or tablets to protect stomach. Does anyone suffer with this and any tips to stop bleeding or protect gums . Plus has anyone experienced weight loss with colchicine. Thank you.

Pericarditis after booster

I'm 6 weeks into treatment with Colchicine and am worried it will be a long road to recovery, so reassurance would be great! :)

Colchicine

I wonder how many were given Colchicine after their ablation and for how long? Were you able to stay on it or did side effects cause you to discontinue it? Reading medical journals it appears to reduce early AFib reoccurrences by up to 40% in some trials.

3 days post 2nd ablation

Not sure if it’s the colchicine helping with that , I can’t remember last time I took it how it made me feel.

Does colchicine help with energy levels?

Do you think Colchicine will increase energy levels if I can tolerate it? The Rhuematologist has given me a prescription to cash in if I feel it necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Pericarditis recovery (Post-Covid)

I’m taking ibuprofen and colchicine. The pain is easing, but only very slowly. At first I couldn’t move much, eat, sleep or even speak for long due to the pain. Now I am getting up and moving a little but I am exhausted just with a few steps and get the achy pain back in the chest.

CUTANEOUS VASCULITIS

Prescribed steroids and colchicine. It was effective. But when she stopped they started to pop up again whenever I stand and sit longer for a period of time. These past few days I am worried since I have kids. Is there any natural remedy for this?

Heart pulse rate racing and chest pains after COVID booster, 70 year old male, no np or cholesterol. Arteries clear

I’m currently on Aspirin, Cholesterol tablets, Colchicine, Bisoprolol &something they inject in my stomach. It seems they’re using a lot of blood thinning.
