Rheumatoid Arthritis is thought to be an autoimmune disease. The immune system makes antibodies to attack bacteria, viruses and other germs. In people with rheumatoid arthritis the immune system makes antibodies against tissue of the body. Antibodies are formed against the syrovium [the tissue that surrounds the joints]. More details at Patient UK.
An alternative supplement of cod liver oil slows down damage caused by arthritis and is very beneficial taken from early life to prevent arthritis as other answers stated.
In conventional medicines a drug named Sativex made from extracts of cannabis has helped reduce the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. It is not going to cure the disease but it will do a lot to alleviate the pain and suffering it is a pain killer.
A new research has been heralded in the Telegraph news speaking off rose hip supplement to reduce pain from arthritis. Reported studies of 80 per cent both male and female patients took part in taking rose hip supplement after three weeks found reduction in pain. This article is found in link below.
Both my mother who is 81 years and myself are now taking the rose hip supplement and feeling better already. I hope you find some help arthritis may not kill you but it can take your life.

Norco has been a trusted pain medication for years. Although it doesn't help any of the actual problem that RA causes, being an autoimmune disorder she will need to be on something either along with the norco, or instead of it for life. Since the 6 months she's been taking it have helped her have a better quality of life, then don't worry about the addiction it causes. Will she build up a tolerance, of course, but there a allot of other medications that can be used. I hope she's seeing a pain management doctor as they are the best to handle a life long problem like this. I have RA and know about the pain and fatigue it causes. I also take norco. Your mom knows what helps her the most. Like you said she's had the best pain relief than ever before, so let her enjoy her life. As long as her doctor monitors her regularly then it's up to them both to decide. I think its great that your taking such a wonderful watch over your mom, allot of people today are too busy with there own to worry too much about it. Good luck to your mom and if you need to ask about things like this then please keep doing so. There may come a time when something isn't within her best interest and you'll be glad you did.

Hi! Arthritis is caused by several different things, depending on the type. Nettles and Turmeric are known as specific herbs to heal it, Flax seed oil as well, and Chammomile essential oil is a great topical antiinflammatory. I am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions.

1 tsp Apple cider vinegar in fruit juice or water evry morning will soon remedy that. Try natural medicine and common sense diet before you let doctors pollute you with drugs and chemicals. Also seek out a reliable health product for mineral supplements and you will prevent oncoming illness. If female, fish oils and/or evening primrose oil is a great aid to rejuvenation
