My husband has rheumatoid arthritis, sero negative Is anyone out there living w/ this and how do u manag?
joint pain in any part of the body can occur with what doctors call flare ups. So far treatment is available & works most of the time but for ex. his last flare up was in his knee, took him to ER, took 4 shots of morphine to ease the pain. Regular Dr put him back on prednisone for anothr 10 days. He has so many meds its unreal.
He is also a diabetic with meds & asthma w/meds whn needed. He doesn’t smoke or drink. He also takes depression med because he is only 41 and isn’t used to sitting around and not being able to work.

My cousin is so crippled up with rheumatoid, she is in a wheel chair most of the time. She has had joints replaced but then it hits
somewhere else. She was on humara, and some of the others
but she gets a lung infection. I wish they would work harder on finding help for this problem. I wish you the best of luck. I exercise and walk to try preventing myself from getting it because my grandmother had it and it does run in families.
There are 2 new medications on the market. One is Enbrel and the other Humira. These are injections, he can be taught to do them himself. Ask his Dr about them. They are very successful.
I have it in my hips, knees and ankles. I thought that I would eventually be in a wheel chair. It hurt so bad to stand up, and walk. I heard cracking when going up the steps. A woman was passing out samples of Osteo Bi-Flex at Wal-Mart and I took one. I didn’t hurt for three days. Since then I take it every day and I can walk again, and even run up the steps. Oh, I’m 52 years old, and have had it for several years.
unfortunately the best pain medication for these types of pain was taken off the market, and nonnarcotic mobic try buying a book from mayo clinic or a holistic health book for rheumatoid atrhitis it should have info about diet also I picked one up for my exboyfriend a couple years ago and it helped him tremendously a little lifestyle change goes a long way
Tell him to take fish oil tablets!
