   Essential fatty acids, along with SierraSil a natural mineral supplement, are proven clinically to reduce inflammation, helping with painful arthritic symptoms.

   ppl, PSE try Starflower Oil (capsules) it’s the herb borage, it works really well with some ppl, you can get cream too or burst the capsules and rub it in, read about it on the web…it’s not harmful. medieval ppl used to get loads of it in their ale as water was too dirty to drink, and then with the introduction of filtered water, it was dropped,

   I used Alex Chiu’s Immortality Rings to cure my Rheumatoid arthritis. Works very well. Reduced pain in my legs quite a bit after 2 weeks of usage.

   Healing of arthritis in hand: sleep laying on back on flat board under sheet 10 X 20 X .2 inches, from center of lower curve of back to neck. Soft sleep beds cause many heath problems by many harmful pressures onto the spine. The small discomfort of the flat board becomes many different healing joys. Pains disappear. Plexi plastic glass better than wood for flat board.

    I was born with ra. In the end the only advocaite for your health is you. If you dont take the initive to get out and to do daily task pain or not your immobility will only get worst. Hottubs and hot showers will help you in the early mornings. Pain killers help no one at a young age with a cronic uncurable illness. Eventually those pain killers will become uneffective and will only lead to higher pain killers. Stand up and keep moving it is the best way to fight it ans strech 2 times a day

    really informative thanks, I appreciate these type of vids cuz the help me understand my fathers condition more and more. I try to help him as much as I possibly can w day to day things. I found this great bottle at the drugstore that has a lever activated cap, push down and it opens, i bought a couple for him, so he can put his medicines in it. I think made by Finest Natural brand. they work very well. sorry for the plug, but if it could help anyone , i think its worth mentioning.

    I’ve had RA since I was 6, and been on Mtx since I was 14. The side effects are debilitating and it’s hard to separate myself from it and the meds. Grrr.

    Moved up north, water quality I think may play a role in helping. My Gp put me on steroids, and I got referred to a local specialist who want to pt me on bio injections. It just pisses me off that my local teaching hospital let me suffer, the damage is for life.The only thing my old rheumatologist did was ask what I was doing with my life.

    biologics really made me sick and just feel horrible all the time. i was on remicade for two years and had to stop because of how it made me feel. not to mention i had a mild allergic reaction during one of the my last infusions. i treat my arthritis now with diet and exercise and even though it’s much harder, it works. please think hard about using biologics… there are other options…

    My wife had the same issues with a near useless Rheumatologist and a very helpful GP. Her thumb and first finger on both hands were long since deformed before they put her on the Methotrexate.

    As a nurse having to move patients about, she was suffering every work day as the sulphasalazine was having less and less effect.

    She is now looking at the cost of the biologics but they are super expensive where we are.

    I got RA when I was 21. The doctors in the US waited YEARS before they put me on Methotrexate or gave me any painkillers that actually worked. It was too late to prevent deformities and permanent damage. I don’t know why they waited so long. The worst doctors were so-called Rheumatologists, and the best ones, ironically, were General Practioners or Doctors of Internal Medicine.

    My daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis when she was 4 years old. She was told (repeatedly) that she would grow out of it in her teens. She is now 21 and has full-blown Rheumatoid Arthritis in virtually every joint (though it moves around) and is running out of ‘miracle’ drugs to try……. has anyone heard of the ‘cure’ of ‘Miracle Minerals’? The website looks too good to be true, although I have seen one posting where it did seem to ‘do what it says on the tin’…

    Very good basic explanation, the Proff really does know his stuff, if you get a chance go and see him in Norwich at his clinic. Also NRAS is a great charity which gives lots of support, the forum is fantastic where there are lots of people who are experiencing the same things as each other, again lots of support is given.

    I’ve always been told that the usual age group for onset is 18-40. My brother has had it since he was about 21 and I’ve had it since I was 36. Are we unusually young to get it then?

    The information presented here doesn’t convey the disease in children. It is much more severe, and the numbers are astonishing. More children have JA than MD, cystic fibrosis and juvenile diabetes COMBINED. One in three people have arthritis. It is the NUMBER ONE cause of disability. It doesn’t get the press that other disease get because it isn’t “sexy” — it doesn’t kill you as fast as cancer. It just sucks your quality of life away.
