Hi All,

The main story in today’s papers is a study published in the Lancet which shows that long term use of high dose painkillers (NSAIDs) can pose vascular and upper gastrointestinal health risks. Ailsa was interviewed on BBC Radio London this morning and it is now available on iplayer:

We will be publishing more information on the article on the main page of our website later today.

Best wishes,
Emma

Thanks for posting this link - it was very interesting to hear Ailsa's comments - clearly this is a valuable piece of research, and in my case it's made me think again about whether I really need to keep taking Naproxen as often as I do - it's on my repeat meds and I'm so used to taking it as part of daily routine - I do it without thinking!

So Ailsa's comments have made me consider how much pain am I in now, as my other meds are doing such a good job. I think I will try and reduce the dosage and see how I feel over the next few weeks.

Thank you NRAS for helping me to be a better informed patient!

Just listened to the interview - good to hear rheumatoid arthritis talked about the NRAS profile out there and Ailsa speaking!
Thank you
