Re: Re: Reiter's questions

Hi

 

Sorry to hear that.  i guess it is taking the lesser of 2 evils, so to speak. 

i.e does the risk of taking a drug add up to more or less than what it may or

may not 'cure'.  We're all different and got to make up our own minds.

I should also say that  i was also surprised that i hadnt heard of most of

the other drugs you mentioned.  By the consultants own admission, i had

a particular bad bout of RA and was holed up in hospital for most of 3 months,

and the only 2 drugs mentioned were sulfasalazine and methotrexate...as well as

having a number of aspirations/steroid injections, and that was in one of the

best hospitals in the UK.  Safe to say that Reiter's /RA can be a real pain. 

 

Regards

I didn't mention sulfasalazine because I had a bad allergic reaction

to sulfa (sulfonamide antibiotic) during my initial infection and I

think that may have helped catalyze the auto-immune disease. So I

wouldn't advise taking the risk, given the relatively high frequency

of that reaction in the general population.
