Hi there! I'm an AS sufferer since 2005 have been on sulphasalazine and celebrex for treatment. I've been pushing to be put on an anti TNF as I've had no benefit from the sulphasalazine and already have liver issues (hence me not wanting to go on methotrexate). Due to the cost of anti TNF, my local PCT is very reluctant to give me this treatment (or even test me for suitability). Are there other PCT's in the UK where treatment of this type is available?

For those not finding success on biologics, or who are unable to afford them: Have you tried trental? This is a drug from the 1970s that makes red blood cells slipperier. It's called a blood flow enhancer. A friend has tried it with great success. It has similar benefits to the biologics but is not as powerful, but it has only mild side effects. Best of all it's a generic and cheap! Anyone tried trental?
