Thanks beave. Poppydoop, one small study showing a marginal change in rates does not then validate the heroic conclusion of yours that "UC selects men more than women". A single study is just that....
Those diff in rates for men and women are quite small. Ud wonder sbout statistical significance in such a study on a single cohort. Nowhere near the 3-9 fold differences you see with rheumatic...
Do you have published research or links to back that up poppydoop? Nowhere have I seen it quoted that IBD / UC / CD is more common in one gender group than the other (in my view there are two such...
Hopefully this will spark some improvements in HW service more especially the forums as most former members have migrated to Facebook sites and Reddit which provide a more refreshing and open...
I do not think the subject matter was the problem here and to be fair to the moderators this was not the point they were making last year when threads were locked etc. The issue was that the subject...
There are lots of possibilities here. An inflammatory arthritis associated with your flare up is very common and occurs in about of 25 - 35% of IBD cases. Such would be classed as a form of...
Other peoples perspectives will be to regard much of the negativity of biologics as complete nonsence. There are scientists who have Nobel prizes based on drug therapy of 40% efficiacy yet we hear so...
Nothing special about this article. Not telling us anything we did not already know. There are people on HW in 5-, 8- ,12- year remissions who will smile at the undertone here that biologics are...
Rinvoq only inhibits jak1 but xeljanz targets jak 1 2 and 3.. As a consequence rinvoq has a safer profile so doctors tend to use that first and build up to xeljanz if needed. that said its reported...
if Mtx is indeed helping things it proves this is not ostearthrtis. MTx cannot suddenly regenerate catrilage tissue overnight. Clo, for your comment "Remicade has this far not been proven to CAUSE...
Faith, You cannot have osteoarthritis from Remicade. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of mechnical wear and tear over time usually because of ageing or overuse of a joint. It has nothing to...
I agree with you on that OM but all great cures come from diagnostics that extend remission for a long period. The top down approach of stopping even mild disease in its tracks has greatly improved...
No I like checking in to HW even if I don't post mostly to see whether Old Mike has new research. I suppose I find Redit IBD more beneficial in terms of more info on biologics and having a more...
It is fun spotting ppl on Redit IBD who you think you might know frm HW....i clearly know iPoop handle on Redit IBD simply because his posts there are so informative and helpful similar to how he...
On Redit....as iPoop suggests there are 3 IBD threads there with the number of daily posts similar to HW 10 years ago....that site is more sophiscated than HW and much easier to use.......
nice to hear from you again UCyousee. Glad Stelara is working. How fast did it work for you? Did it get the fatigue, joint-pain and bowel all under control at the same time?...
TAA, You need to be more clearer here in your statements. An endoscopy is just a general term for a whole number of procedures involving placing a camera into your body. There is a capsule form which...
You keep believing that Island Time...all the major health breakthroughs are from europe....any major ones from america are funded from european researchers. That the american health system is a joke...
It is hard for us Europeans to fathom that these questions even have to be asked by patients in America. Our health systems differ, country by country, and probably the NHS in the UK is not the best...
Again you need to differentiate between inflammatory arthritis and aging osteoarthrtis (OA)....they are 2 completely different conditions.....Humira will do zero for OA...
Clo, Overuse of Pred can cause degeneration of the fibres of tendons and ligaments leading to long term incorrect mechanics on the joint and hence OA and bio-mechanical inflammation. Similar effects...
Gritty., Remember Spondyloarthritis. if you have such, is in large part an independent entity of its own...and will wax and wane on its own independent of the inflammation in your gut. If your issues...
Charlie, There are more biologics indicated for joint issues than there are for UC. I think Phil Mickelson would agree given that he has won 2 major and countless millions on a biologic over the last...
Clo, Has Mtx helped keep you inflammatory arthritis at bay? Does it also help with your osteoarthritis? D...
Those floods were terrible to watch and read about. And of course the equally the floods in pakistan where up to 1,700 people are currently presumed dead and with 8million displaced with that number...
You should talk to your GI and PCP to get the fullest account of the benefits and risks of Aza. The drug suppresses the immune system in a more generic way than most biologics. Consequently its side...
NCOT....I'm glad your surgeries went well......in terms of feeling sad of the effects of covid and brexit on not seeing nice ppl....perhaps you might think of your surgery in terms of "Taking Back...
Aza has been a very good drug for lots of us on this site. Sometimes it is used in conjunction with a biologic. It's side effects are more systemic than other biologics and it is noted to double the...
Amazing how all these 'Marks' seem to have a link with VanJordan....and the pravda protocol seems to work for all of them too.....wish i had been called Mark!!!!...
HI Delta. Given the controversary this topic has created and the amount of ill feeling and nasty comments made (remember the comment that Mark made to one of the members on here) do you not think it...
There was a post on this on reddit IBD or UC forums back in June. It looked like an attempt to get discussion going but it faded away and there were only 2 or 3 comments. One of the comments were to...
I'm starting to suspect that Pravda is one of these characters!!!! But I frequently get weird stuff like this entering my mind....i dreamt last night that the red sox would win the world series this...
Hambo....nothing has been deleted containing new info.....the post that was deleted was a post that the mods felt was being used by someone with a fake account to again stir up trouble....but it did...
Well my advice then Hambo is to circulate your theories to the wider community, create web pages and search links to bring people to your sites and promote the protocol in a variety of different...
Absolutely. People are free here to talk, chat and argue. They must obey the forum rules that is a given. There are lots of topics debated and discussed here over the course of a year. What people...
Hambo, There is no issue here. You can go to that other site or place that is talked about. You can get all the info you need on this new method and you can share this with other people around the...
No not at all. Good that it was deleted and that no name calling or nasty posts erupted once again....
lUvsoCcer, There is no need to give us updates here about what is happening on the other site or about what that other character is up to. Kinda strange you feel the need to do this. No one here...
Hambo, There was a time when if a person was in a really bad IBD flare they died with probability 1 in 3. About 30%. We have come along way since then so rather criticizing that these new biologics...
Clo....that button u speak of is called a supporting spouse!!...
Compared to where you are now beave on Stelara (which im assuming is a good place) do u feel better than u felt in the years between ur bad times. I guess im also suggesting that during the in...
Well done Michelle on getting rid of that disgusting post from Mark....
I'm sure it is really important for you to always be right LowLead and that you cling to those 13% and 70% numbers with fervent appeal. But I agree with poppydoop in that I cannot for the life of me...
In the Pravda thread on page 8 there is a comment by Mark4623 where he calls a member a disgusting ***** piece of *****. I’m Highingting thiz ugly, bullying and nasty comment here for all to see in...
CC...uve been had.....it shld be obvious what has happened here....ur GI immediately sent this paper to big pharma.....they immediately responded that this cld unbalance the 13% of ppl cured of...
taa...It is well recorded that I have been critical of senior members here. at times there is a tendency to over-state there own personal experiences esp to new members. With that said I could not...
You should ask for the biopsy reports on the polyp and colon.....pseudopolyps are indicators that inflammation was previously present. Did you have pseudoolyps at your last colonscopy? Did you have...
Respect for Old Mike here ;-)....all the excitement, commotion and upheaval over this pravda protocol and its something Old Mike researched and done and dusted years ago!!!!...
No it wasn't quite that....it was some weird combination of alkaline substances including baking soda....ill do a search later in H Well and see can i find it just for laughs!!!!...great days back in...
Interesting to hear you never produced blood beave. Do you have a feeling that there was occult blood present or were all your ulcers of the non-bleeding variety. Did they classify your colon on the...
