It's going to be a month or so before I start on this because they have to do blood tests etc before you get the go ahead.., and I think it's back to the drips. Alanmancunian

Hi Alan
I have heard good things about this drug too.. The Arthritis Research UK centre at Leeds University was involved in the trials of it a few years ago and they got good results..
Let us know how you get on.
