"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."

"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."
