fish oil is popular now,besides exercise and glucosamine. are there any others that may help alleviate pain, other than aspirin, motrin,etc. im thinking natural.

My MD means well, but every time my RA flares up they wish to prescribe some antinflammatories.. or better yet.. oral chemo to treat this progressing disease.

I have noted early deformity in my left hand #2 digit… I currently take a slew of mutlivitamins but also omega3 fish oils, and oil of primerose.

Any other suggestions?

And the person has tried over the counter pain killers. They do not like the effect of the heavy stuff they dispense only at the hospital, and they are in severe pain, they also wont take some of the preventive medication, because it made thier hair fall out, what can I suggest for them to do, they are young and have two kids, she is in her early 30′s.

I’ve tried Bio -Freeze, Tiger Balm and most of the other creams.
