Answer 2

I was diagnosed with RA in 2002 after having symptoms for almost a year.

The first specialist I saw prescribed the normal protocol - methotrexate, vioxx, etc. Not only was I in pain but my hair began to fall out.

I then began to see another research based specialist who prescribed a very intense cocktail of drugs. I was taking 15-20 pills a day. I did go into "remisson" however I was constantly in the lab having blood drawn to make sure the meds I was taking didn't damage my liver.

It was then I began to approach my RA from a natural/nutritional standpoint. I eliminated white pototoes, nightshade vegetables (green pepper family), sugar, etc. from my life. I did find some relief but would still have flareups.

This summer I was contemplating visiting the complementary doctor here in town. I was on vacation in Florida and my aunt and uncle introduced us to MonaVie - a acai berry blended nutritional beverage. I was skeptical but thought I would give it a try as my uncle was having success with it and his arthritis. Within a week the pain and swelling in my feet had significantly decreased. I have been drinking it ever since. Every morning I would have to get up and take Naprosyn because my joints would hurt so bad. I no longer have to since drinking MonaVie.

I'm not saying that is has "cured"me. What I am saying is that
have had signifcant relief from symptoms. RA is an auto immune disease which attacks the joints. MonaVie is a high in antioxidants which help repair cell damage.

If you ever want to discuss further please check my profile for contact info.

Answer 3

I've found that RA (and other autoimmune disorders) often have a food allergy component to them and wheat (as well as the nightshade foods already mentioned) contribute a lot to pain. The research seems to indicate that these foods lead to leaking of the gut, so doing a GI cleanse/healing program would also be good.

I personally have sub-clinical lupus and manage it entirely with diet and exercise. If I find I'm starting to flare up, I go wheat and dairy free for a month. That usually stops it in it's tracks (although I've never gotten to full "disease" status, thank goodness).

Have you considered stretching as a source of relief? If the RA keeps you from being active, your muscles will get tight and pull more on the joints. Stretching helps relieve that pressure. www.GetArthritisReliefNow.com has a nice example of stretches.

Good luck. I've also heard good things about MonAvie and Himalayan Goji juice.

Answer 4

I think it sucks. It's a debilitaing disease that makes it so that some people can't even move without being in pain.

If you're looking for something to help it, what I can tell you is that there are many natural products that help with joint health. The most popular ones I've found are Microlactin, Hyaluronic Acid, Tart Cherry Extract, Litozin (Danish Rose Hips), Glucosamin, Chondroitin, MSM, and Avovida (a combination of avocado and soy). Most of them are very economical and are very beneficial... our customers order them on a very regular basis. Most people get benefit from one or more of these ingredients within anywhere from a week to a couple months, depending on how long it takes for the supplement to get into their joints.

The only thing you'd have to worry about on any of these aside from allergic reactions is that the Microlactin is from milk and the Glucosamin is typically from Shellfish (those are the most common allergens).

Pain Pills have been working at about 79% for me, however I am hearing good things from the medical Marijuana community where it actually makes life tolerable without pain pills. Why the Feds are fighting this is beyond me.
