Generic Drugs
There was some discussion recently about different batches of drugs causing different side effects so I thought I would talk to my mate at the pharmacy when I collected my December party bag (Have you got yours organised?) . It seems that in MOST cases the manufacturer (generic or specific) makes no

Changing from levonorgestrel to the mini pill?
Hi ladies! Just wondering if anyone on here is taking the mini pill to stop periods and how they're getting on with it? I used to take levonorgestrel back to back but after telling my doctor I was suffering with mirgraines for the past couple of weeks, she wouldn't prescribe me with any more due to the

Simponi (golimumab)
I was injecting "Embrel" for 12 months for the control of my R/A after this time the medication ceased to work and caused suppression of my white blood cell count, I then changed to "Simponi" monthly injections and have been using this since Nov last year, over the last month the muscle pain has returned

After trying to get Enbrel , and not getting any funding to help pay for it right now. My doctor is now checking on a different drug called Simponi Aria . And wants to do IV infusions ! He's thinking the insurance may pay more if it's a IV infusion!! Any way just wondering if any one has any information

I have Colitis & Reflux
I use Lialda for the colitis and it stays in check. For the reflux I use Dexilant and I thought this would also remain in check. Recently had surgery for PAD in my legs. Actually just the first leg and I came down with a server case of reflux where by bile would constantly come up. The hospital gave

Rituximab for RA
Hi, I'm new to this forum, but not new to RA. I'v been diagnosed 4 years ago and haven't discovered my cure yet. Tried Embrel, Simponi , RoActemra and now my rheumy wants to put me on Rituximab. My question is has it worked for anybody? I'm tired of using such strong medication myself without any

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.
