Is anyone suffering from HAT (Hepatic Artery Thrombosis) or has gone through it.
I was transplanted in 2007 but unfortunately suffered HAT in 2013, I have been on 450mg of Rifampicin for severe pruritus for the last 6 months but about a week ago the pruritus is on it's way back.Has the Rifampicin stopped being effective? Would having a permanent drain put in help? I can't get any

Hi everyone wanted to share something with u all that might help.
Iv been suffering from the gruesome itch for a few months now x when I first got it I read on here how other people were cutting certain foods from their diet so I experimented a bit myself x came to the conclusion that chocolate was making it worse. I would eat quite a lot of chocolate biscuits through

TB-like bacteria
Hi, I went to see my consultant today Wednesday. He told me that not only did I have pneumonia, but he detected TB-like bacteria, the name of which he had never heard of before, godola! I did tell him that when I checked about night sweats, one of the causes was TB. I had put myself back on Rifampicin

Accidental find shows Vitamin C kills tuberculosis
Having seen many claims over the antibiotic properties of vitamin C over the past few years, the real surprise is that this effect has not been noticed before! Again, as the Iodine blog a few minutes ago, the surprise was hearing it on the Today program on Radio 4. Not that the program doesn't cover

If you are on Rifampicin for itch what dose are you on and does it work on taking itch away completely?
I was on this drug for itch a few years back but didn't help and wonder if maybe I wasn't on the right dose or on it for long enough for it to work?

Rifampicin
Hi, I was in hospital last week for a lung transplant assessment, I'm mrsa and have been for many years. The co-ordinators sent a prescription to my gp for antibiotics for one last ditch attempt at knocking it on the head. I got Trimethoprim, which I've had previously and Rifampicin which I've never

Looking for info on Naltrexone please.
I have had the 'dreaded itch' for 7 months now, antihistamines give slight relief as does Aveeno moisturiser. I have tried Questran which didnt work, Rifampicin which worked but I suffered terrible side effects and my liver tests were really bad. I have been offered Naltrexone by my Consultant which
