Hi Darren, it might be an idea to post again on the helpline forum, this sounds more like a topic for there. I think I know the answer to the blood test query: you need regular tests as sulpha is an immune-system suppressant drug, it is cleared from the body via the liver (or is it the kidneys? or both? I cannot remember) and they have to monitor your reactions to it to make sure you are tolerating it. I had fortnightly tests for years, you get used to them. DD
