The unfortunate thing is the drug I was taking was one of the ones with the least number of horrifying side-effects. The other ones, like Ebrel and Remicade and Methotrexate suppress your immune system so that a minor infection can become life threatening! NSAIDs, which work pretty well, are linked to heart disease and bleeding ulcers and microscopic colitis. Argh!

But on the other hand. I'll go without any drugs for as long as I can and see if things like Turmeric and Krill Oil help. Before I couldn't tell, because I was taking the drug. And I thought the Turmeric was the thing upsetting my tum.
