Has any one been prescribed this for arthritis, if so how was it.
Thank you.

I have tried it twice, the first time it made me suicidal, that was maybe 15 years ago. I tried again about 2012 and it made my tinnitus worse (quinine is known to do that) even taking only 2 doses per week so it gave up again.
What I would say is build up very slowly, maybe twice a week at first and so on. Don't let them tell you you need to go mad at the beginning it can take at least 3 months for you to feel the benefits and there is nothing to be gained from rushing as it often has bad tummy side effects, but many people I know with lupus etc swear by it once it gets to work.

Thank you for that, I have had a good read of the information the consultant has given me but I'm not to keen. As I already have issues with stomach acid I don't want to make this worse. Also it says that it can cause damage to the retina, I don't think I am going to take it.
