Guest guest Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 Hi There! I take 1 mg daily of colchicine . I experience no side effects. the medication is suppose to decrease acidity of joint tissue and prevent deposits of uric-acid crystals. I wish you luck with your medications. Isa/-from P.R. colchicine Hello!I went to the Rheumatologist on Monday, he was very sweet but said this is so rare, he's only seen 3 cases in his practice. He did a good job of doing the assessment and has ordered an MRI for a tender spot at the top of my neck, to find out what's going on. We talked about some of the choices for "prevention" drugs and he suggested a low dose of Colchicine to start. I'm just curious if anyone else has been on this and found it to be helpful. I realize we are all different, but there's a lot of experience out there I'd like to hear about as I go through my journey, if people are willing to share.I'm scheduled to see Dr. Buckner in January and she will become my ongoing Rheumatologist, so I'm looking forward to that.Thanks!DISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.
