if this is possible

[Darren.]

alot of members have alot of experience on meds and alt treatments

wondering if there is a way of putting on forum which med/alt a member is on or using. if they so wish that is

so its highlighted n easy to see

thinking it might help, for example im up for humira, now being a old member i can use my memory of who is on it whereas a newbie wouldnt be able to do this

also being that ive been on mtx before i have ton of experince knowledge on that med, other members also have the same level of experience with meds/ alts which might be of benefit to others who can automatically see that we have been on it

possible ? possibly ? idea ?

Its always helpful to get advice from peeps who have tried and tested various lotions/potions/pills, etc.  Pieman has done a fab report on humira, likewise Nick on VitaminD combined with PUVA; lots available on MTX as its the cheaper DMARD and seems most tried and tested .. recording on a weekly basis experiences on new treatments is invaluable to those of us on early stage treatments ... so appreciate the efforts so far and, while I do a search regularly for what I need, I know not everyone realises that facility is there.  Oftentimes they just ask the question and some well-meaning peeps sends a link.

You've got some good ideas Daz

I used to look at a support forum for people with ICD's (implanted cardioverter defibrilator) as my mum had one.

A lot of people on there used to list their meds in their signature so you could see what they were on.   

[Nicknackwack]

Good idea and could be helpful to others if they want to contact you or just see who is on what med 

I've put my 'status' in my signature line as Jackie suggests 

BB makes a good point about the search facility ~ I wonder if it is under used 

[Jamie..]

I struggled with the search function for years till I realised the other month the magnifying glass (that I thought was a torch  ) helped you to define the search more.

It is a very usefull tool! 

Good idea Darren, and adding into signature is a good idea!!

[Darren.]

i was thinking something a little bolder so can be seen easier like a badge or something on our profiles or can be seen clearly on posts

like the donate button is when a mod posts for example

[Pieman]

I think it's a good idea to use the signature space to have some kind of info
regarding current treatment/past etc...but would need to be uniformly used
as it would start to look stupid ....non compulsory of course...

I don't believe that there is an inbuilt function readymade to facilitate any other way...
(Michael or mods can correct me if i'm wrong    )

however to embed "neat" button type info the signature is possible
although you are limited to 200 characters: (unless this could be extended? )

ie: the code for this button:


is nearly 50 characters...so only 4 buttons would fit in the space.


maybe some thing like this..combo of text and buttons ( again limited to 200chars):

^{Current - in remission using: previous:}

what's the general consensus?
pie

[Darren.]

pie thats what i had in mind, something clear so stating either what med/alt currently using or have used in the past
 

thumbs up from me id like to see it

[arizona]

And great idea Darren
