Medication

I have cut out a lot of my medication and picked up so much in 3 weeks I do think a lot of medication prescribed to us counter acts with each other. I know the drugs that help me and others that don’t ! So I stopped them and felt 100% better than I was 3-4 weeks ago ! Is this sensible or will I fall flat on my face ? 🙈

Guess it depends which ones you’ve dropped. Only time will tell. Good luck

What kind of vasculitis do you have? And which medication have you cut off?

I early on decided not to mess around with my prescribed meds myself. However i read the med leaflets. Recently i noted all the side effects and the 'if you take this don't take that'. l then spoke to my GPand agreed to stop 2 meds and discuss another 2 with my consultant.
