I have seen patients who were essentially completely disabled be transformed into happy, mobile, almost cured people, and they rave about it. Your physician will monitor the adverse effects and discontinue the medication if anything serious arises. I believe it is a major breakthrough, given the dozen or so patients who I have seen make an almost full recovery from debilitating arthritis. It is worth a try. Good luck!
