Life – No Price Too High!
A recent visit to my pharmacy prompted me to think about why it was I was paying so much for the “magic bullet” that was going to rid me of the flu. How is the price of a drug determined? What is the reason for one drug being more expensive than the other, yet both, ultimately, performing the same role

RA and colitis anybody??
Hi all. I've been taking 12.5 mg of Methotrexate for the last six years now for sera negative rheumatoid arthritis. However, for the last six months or so Iv been suffering with extreme bloating of my lower tummy area at the end of the day a few times a week. Very painful and lasts for hours. Long story

Has anyone developed a colitis post liver transplant?
And if so, do you know why? My local GI is a bit useless — he has contradicted himself at least three times in our last appointment and he recommended something that contradicted what another friend (not transplanted) was told by her GI doc about diet. I also checked online and my GI doc is totally,

If I move out if the area will I still get my Simponi?
Hi, I have been on Simponi for almost 4 months, so have had 3 injections up to now and seeing good results . I was told I was only eligible for Simponi because I lived in an area that had full NHS funding. I may have to move as my husband has left me, but am worried if I go somewhere else I might not

Beta 2 Microglobin - an exquisitely sensitive marker for disease activity in many hematologic disorders.
Increased serum beta2 microglobulin levels reflect increased activity of the disease process in question and can be an exquisitely sensitive marker for this purpose in many hematologic disorders. The reference range of beta2 microglobulin in urine samples is 0-0.3 µg/mL. In serum or plasma samples,

Coeliac & colitis flare up - is it possible that getting glutened could trigger a flare up of colitis
I have recently been diagnosed with colitis having been diagnosed with coeliac the previous year. I am just coming off prednisolone down to 2 a day & am starting to worry that if I accidentally get 'glutened' it may trigger off a flare up.

Just had my second Prolia shot less than two weeks ago. A few days ago I noticed thick hard skin on a few knuckles...Scleroderma?
Am suspecting that the Prolia has started Scleroderma, which I have never had before. Will be talking to my rheumatologist soon. Anyone else have it start up after beginning Prolia? My Raynaud's has been much worse this year, as well.

Does any other parent out there have a child with primary sclerosing cholangitis?
My son was diagnosed last year along with ulcerative colitis, is anyone one else experiencing the same thing?

Has anyone tried echinacea?
Hello all I've been on prednisolone for two and a half years now and I guess my immune system is compromised as I'm getting frequent recurrent UTIs. I was going to try echinacea and cat's claw to try and boost my immune system but came across a drug interaction with echinacea and pred. when I googled

How is colitis diagnosed? If its a colonoscopy I'm not sure I can face it!
I do seem to have all the symptoms of colitis, and my thyroid problem is auto immune, so I guess there may be a link. My GP is a bit rubbish, I've been there once or twice with blood in my stool and they always want to fob it off as piles, which I don't think it is as I just don't match that profile,

Recovered from the ankle strain and first run in 10 days - Steady 5km - 29:45
Hi all, I hurt my ankle 10 days ago when I got a 5km PB at Barking Parkrun. I decided to rest until the pain in the ankle was completely gone before I ran again. So today I first ran W3R3 with my wife, we ran 3km together. Once my wife finished she went home and I began a 5km. My aim was to do it

I went to see the locum dr on Wednesday as I felt in need of reassurance and ended up with two new medicines
He told me I had a heart murmur and said I should try another water tablet and also another go at another heart medicine. The water tablet is Natrilix and the other one is Doxazosin. The Natrilix is slow release and works all day, I've to wait three days before starting the Doxazosin. Luckily I'm

My 9yr old son was diagnosed with sclerosing cholangitis and ulcerative cholangitis last month and we don't know what quite to expect.
He went from 4.5 stone down to about 3stone in 6 months and has just been release from the RVI newcastle after having a really bad flare up. Can anyone shed a little light on what we should expect and future things to come. He's also just started a 3 months course of steroids alongside his normal medication
