Inflammation and Arrhythmias
So I have had Atrial Tachycardia with several unsuccessful ablation attempts. This last one caused Pericarditis and I subsequently had to take Colchicine. Oddly, since being on the Colchicine, my daily episodes of SVT have tapered off. I am super curious to see if the episodes ramp up again when I am

Update on severe skin lesions
Hi everyone. Just wanted to give an update with regard to the severe skin rash/lesions I experienced in November My GP diagnosed it as urticarial vasculitis but my rheumatologist thought it might be an adverse drug reaction (belated) to actemra. She stopped the infusions and had me on an increased dose

Acute pericarditis following 1 high steroid dose.
hello I experienced pericarditis about 17 years ago following a cold. I had one mild relapse about 6 months later which is when I was diagnosed with pericarditis by GP . Since then nothing until now. 2 days ago I was prescribed a high dose of prednisone steroids (60mg per day) for an unrelated ear

acute pericarditis
Just had the most horrendous chest pain, to the emergency room, overnight stay. Swift, great workup, no coronary disease, no pulmonary embolism, no Aortic dissection. Pericardial effusion, CRP of 22, turns out I have Pericarditis. Not fun. No vigorous exercise for 3 months/ Colchicine, Naproxyn.

Ongoing Pericarditis
I started feeling unwell with left side neck and shoulder pain, a tightness across my left chest, and heart palpitations at the end of September 2023. I felt generally really unwell and took a week off work thinking I had a virus/flu, I didn’t have a cold or sore throat! I went back to work the following

Update on skin lesions
Hi everyone, just thought I would give update on the serious skin lesions I developed that were unlike the normal prednisone related ones. Sheffield Jane mentioned it could be urticaria vasculitis and my GP thought that the symptoms and duration of the lesions indicated that this is what it is. He did

A drug called Colchicine for hypo symptoms
A general practitioner told me that a drug called Colchicine, which is used to treat gout, is helpful for people suffering from hypo symptoms, like painful joints, legs etc. Any opinions?

Mild gout and colchicine
For a number of years I occasionally get a twinge of gout, 1 colchicine sorts it for a few months till the next time. This one is longer lasting been 2 weeks now, still not at all as bad as gout can be. It happens in the morning and I have found that after a walk it can be gone by lunchtime if I don't

Dr. Mark Porter's B12 Times article
Further to deniseinmilden's post I decided to risk my credit card and subscribed to the free trial of The Times to get the article. Here it is, for better or for worse! There are a lot of comments, some of which he replies to, sadly I can't reproduce them here. But I think it's good news in terms of the

Colchicine toxicity & Behcets gastro symptoms
A few years ago around the time I had the diagnosis of Behcets I had rectal bleeding. I had a flexi sigmoidoscopy and not the full colonoscopy and no issues were identified other than a few piles. I’ve currently been having looser and looser stools to the point where I am getting a breakthrough on clothing

Colchicine and Inflammation Revisited
Inflammation is one of the two principle drivers of “The Hallmarks of Cancer” which are the common drivers of progression of cancer from initiation to invasion and spread, to developing resistance to treatments and ultimately to end stage metastasis.
