Don't trust western medicine these days. My father has pretty bad arthritis, loves golf, and can't play due to his hands being so painful. Makes me sad to see his love of golf coming to an end.
Any of you know of supplements or cures to arthritis that western medicine has hidden from us? Know it is a long shot, but this place seems to be the only place where I get truth.
Thanks everyone. Love you all.
Soooo,,,,what was the medicine?
I take a low dose of sulfasalazine. It’s been around since the 70’s if I remember right. I initially asked for it because I knew I could breastfeed safely on it and my mother had been on it for 30 years with zero problems. The rheumatologist I saw wanted me to go on methotrexate and Remicade (a biologic) which was to be delivered by monthly infusion. Conveniently he had just built a nifty new infusion center in his practice, but I’m sure that didn’t influence his suggested treatment.
At the moment, I’ve added quercetin and vitamin c which also seems to help, and cutting out sugar (again) has almost completely eliminated my pesky morning stiffness that had started to creep up again.
Thanks for responding.
