You do indeed!
I may or may not have told this story before but i'll keep it brief anyway.
I used to take a drug called diclofenac. It was for osteoarthritis in my big toe, following a bout of gout. This stuff worked. Really worked, I had it on repeat prescription and it got rid of knee pain and foot pain and ankle pain at will. I felt no pain and could play whatever, whenever.
Anyway, I started having stomach trouble. **** knows what that was, but put up with it for a while but then went to get this looker at. Was diagnosed with UC, which let me tell you is ****ing horrific and comes in bouts, or 'flares'.
This calmed down, then I'd have another, then it went and then I had another other, which lasted well over a year. I had various treatments for that (including immunosuppressants, which is why I'm top of the vaccine list!!) before I eventually put the two together. Tracing back, each 'flare' followed some heavy diclofenac use.
I was also warmed, seriously, by a visiting locum that the **** causes early age cardiac arrest in males.
I've not touched it for years and haven't had a bout of UC in over five years now.
Still get immuno treatment every eight weeks though. And, considering it suppresses the immune system, I also never get ill with anything else!!
^^^jinx no doubt.
