"Worked like a charm, no problems associated with taking these injections. I took it for several years, often experiencing lengthy periods of remission. After reading the side effects of other drugs, the side effects of the gold injections seem to be of similar risk."

Gold sodium thiomalate "At 21 years of age, I was prescribed Myochrysine injections for chronic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I had suffered horribly from JRA as an infant, through childhood, and into adulthood. I was on gold for 4 years until I was 25, one injection each month. It seemed to put my RA in remission. However, after 4 years with no complications, immediately after a routine injection, while driving back to work from my doctor's office, I went into anaphylactic shock. I almost died. I was permanently taken off of gold. I have mixed feelings about Myochrysine."

Gold sodium thiomalate "I have been on Myochrysine 50 mg for 33 years, one injection a month. You would never know I have severe rheumatoid arthritis. My doctor took blood once a month, did a CBC and UA, never had a problem. Of course, it's been discontinued now altogether. I have bought this medicine from Vanuatu, India, Barbados, Canada, and most recently the United Kingdom, but now it’s no more. I believe it has been discontinued because it works! Not enough profit for drug companies."
