    Corona Virus

    Very interesting Scipio and kallaikoi. I think there is something to this. Now there is talk of using that other malaria drug for covid19 that, surprise surprise, also mildly suppresses the immune system?

    Infliximab- high blood pressure?

    Heya. Just wondering if anyone has had a side effect of high blood pressure with Infliximab? My blood pressure has been high for a while and wondering what is causing it. I am going to do some lifestyle changes to try to get the blood pressure down.
