I have rheumatoid arthritis and I do not take medication for it(the medications I’ve been on in the past caused stomach issues and if I control my diet I can usually control the RA). I am in a lot of pain today, the weather is not helping with this in one bit. Does anyone know of anything that I can do to help relieve the pain without medicine? I don’t have any Tylenol left and no money to buy some right now.

I have RA in my hands, wrists, knees and right ankle. Any suggestions to help relieve pain right now would be great…thank you!

I’ve been getting redness, warmth, and apparent inflammation around my joint areas off and on for a while now. It happens unprovoked in my knees and elbows most often. However, when I exercise, ALL of my joints, (feet, ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, fingers, etc…) seem to get inflamed. & I’m not doing strenuous strength workouts or anything, just some cardio on the elliptical or my Gazelle (which, ironically, is known to be a great piece of exercise equipment for people with joint issues). Anyway, it doesn’t seem to matter what I do in particular, the redness and warmth appear around all my joints after about 20-30 minutes of any aerobic/cardio workout.

I’ve also noticed some stiffness in my fingers and ankles/legs. It isn’t severe, and I’m not sure if it’s any worse than other people experience. Although, I’m only 20, so I don’t think it’s very common to be having trouble making a fist or walking with a normal gait. (But, it comes and goes, and these more striking examples have only happened a few times; it’s usually milder like having to walk up and down the stairs a little funny in the morning because of stiff knees, etc…)

Such as antibiotics, Thyroxin, meds for rheumatoid arthritis?
I have actually been prescribed Thyroxin and I also have rheumatoid arthritis so these drugs are something I take daily.. I also work in hospital, so follow-up is always there. I was just looking for a reliable alternative for buying more of these drugs.

My doc said I have Rheumatoid arthritis. I had all the symptoms. Couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. My feet, knees. back, arms, and hands all hurt very bad. I could barely get around. I never went to a rheumatologist because I dont have insurance. He put me on Prednisone and it was a miracle drug. I quit takin it once and symptoms returned in 4 days. This time I quit it to see if my symptoms came back and its been almost 2 week and I have no symptoms. So could I be in remission without meds or what?

Let’s face it. When it comes to supplements there is a ton of market hype. Our minds go into overdrive trying to determine what’s real and what’s not, what fact is and what is fallacy.

However, we can take into account the research that has been conducted with fish oil, and follow in the direction it points toward; the direction of promise, healing, longevity and health.

While many people who suffer from pain want to find relief, they are not necessarily comfortable with the idea of taking a pain pill. Pain medication can be highly addictive and as we all know, all medication run the risk of side effects.

Thank goodness pain pills are not the only method for managing pain. Numerous alternatives exist, which can assist the pain sufferer in finding relief and living life to the fullest. It’s important to keep in mind that there is no one fix-all therapy – each body is unique and will react differently to various pain therapy methods. Some methods may be inappropriate or require combining with other methods to bring about wellness in an individual. It’s also important to factor in your medical condition and history.

I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My arthritis is very slight so far and is in my hands and my right wrist. I do not want the meds from the doctor unless absolutely necessary. I am thinking that as it has only just started, maybe I have a chance at controlling it with a healthier lifestyle and some supplements. I am going to try it anyway, before I have any toxic drugs pumped into my body by people who have not even tested them over a long term basis yet. My question is this; What supplements work together and are there some combinations I shouldn’t try? For instance, if I took glucosamine, chondroitin and snow lotus extract at the same time, will the active ingredients in them react badly, work together or cancel each other out? I have cut everything from my diet except oily fish, veg, fruit, nuts and seeds and am planning on taking glucosamine, chondroitin and fish oil alongside my diet anyway, as they cant harm and will protect my joints a little in the long run. Then I am going to add a supplement for a month and see if it helps at all. If it doesnt, I’ll try another etc. Also, I have quit smoking today, hoping that will help. Has anyone got any advice on this? It would be greatly appreciated, as a lifetime on experimental drugs is looking pretty bleak to me right now. I am only 21 and I’m finding the whole thing more than a little scary.
