"Misdiagnosed with RA for years. Nothing worked. Drugs were more intense. Then tried this. Life restored in two weeks. Can cause severe diarrhea, so I have to cut down or discontinue for a few weeks. Worth it!"

"Had excruciating leg and knee pain for weeks until finally diagnosed as pseudo-gout. Colchicine did wonders, and now virtually pain-free. Now the bad news: three doctors have said it will no longer be made available."

"Contrary to previous comments, I am currently taking this medication. Maybe reintroduced at a huge price increase? Works, but I have a metallic taste for several hours after the dose."
