I answered your other question a few minutes ago. No there is no cure at this time. The drugs that are being developed today, however, are getting stronger and work better. Starting with regular analgesics like aspirin and tylenol, moving onto NSAIDS like plaquenil and sulfasalazine, steroids, and even DMARDS (disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs) that includ methotrexate, gold, etc. The newest drugs are the biologics that work usually with the DMARDs, or sometimes alone. These are enbrel, humira, kineret, orencia, remicade, and a few newer onse that are still in early phases. Enbrel is a once or twice a week injection, humira is once weekly or biweekly injections, kineret is a daily injection, Remicade is an iv infusion about every 6-8 weeks, and orencia is an injection but i do not know the details.
I am on a cocktail of NSAIDS, DMARDs, and a biologic as well as a few others to help with breakout pain and side effects. It has taken about 4 years to get to this point. It has definately not given me a cure, but it allows me to walk. I could not walk or rite easily due topain and swelling. I even had to withdraw out of a college class due to swelling and pain. Even though i still have daily pain, i m greatful that i have the drugs that i have.
as i said in the other answer, I am on a forum for those with RA, lupus, fibro, etc. we are a great group of people with lots of fun and info. check us out!

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

No, there is not a cure at this time. There is medication to help slow down the progression and pain of the disease.

There is no cure, but you can take certain supplements like glucosamine chondroitin to slow the process down and boost the immune system.
