Totally non PMR request
My Border Colie Meg, who as some of you know is very poorly. She is on 25mg of Pred a day and one of her other drugs, is Salazopyrin, which is also used for Crohns and RA, says I have to use gloves when using it, does anyone know why? She has to have 0.75 of a tablet three times a day so I have got a

Gastroentrology appointment
Hi Is it normal to get a gastroentrology appointment a few weeks after my colonoscopy procedure? I was told I had ulcerative colitis and had several biopsy’s taken now I am worried they have found something else. Any reassuring advice would be appreciated.

Quinidine Sulphate
About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome and had a de-fib fitted as well as prescibed Quinidine and Bisoloprol which I have taken ever since. 4 years ago my de-fib activated so my Consultant increased the levles of Quinidine. However I am told by my Consultant & Pharmacy that they cannot

Calprotectin level 1500
Have been prescribed Prednisolone tablets, Octasa tablets and Ad-Cal. Shocked at how many I have to take every day, on top of the meds I already take.

Please have blood tests if taking medication - Pentasa.
My GP prescribed me Pentasa for my Ulcerative Colitis. I took this for approx 10 years. My GP never requested any blood tests in this time. This medication was slowly killing off my kidney function. In 2017 I was admitted to hospital with a 9% kidney function. I stopped Pentasa and my kidneys improved

Where do I stand now with anti virals?
Hello to you all I have chosen to stop taking Adalimumab because I don’t think it’s doing anything and it has triggered a patch of vitiligo which i want to try and avoid spreading. This means I am now taking methotrexate 20mg subcut and 6mg pred. I was wondering Do I still qualify for anti virals?

Buscopan daily?
Hi everybody, I was told I have IBS about 8months ago and to try fodmap. I've had stool (once) and blood tests (twice) which were all clear. I've found fodmap incredibly hard to follow as it's so limited and I never seem to get a long enough period of time to really try it I.e. a month where there are
