    Hi Phil :D

    yes I did have one gold injection....but unfortunately had a reaction to it (itchy rash all over) :( so that was it for me.!

    Don't know what type of arther you have but you might be interested in this article in the Daily Mail today about how they are researching using gold injections for OA

    good luck with the gold when you do get started.

    Hi phil

    I used to be on intramuscular gold injections years ago.
    It was the first drug they tried on me 22 years ago.
    I had big doses at first until i had had 1000 mg and then i think it was every fortnight. It worked for me for about 6 years. I didn't know they still used that medication. I am now on methx leflunomide,celebrex and hydroxi.

    Good luck I hope it works for you
