I have both types and am currently on Sulfasalazine, but considering Enbrel.
I Used To Suffer But Not Anymore!
I began
searching for information on natural remedies, alternative
medicine, and anything I could find. I had actually tried
searching for this information years before, and found nothing
relevant. Then
one day I found a source of information that led to another
source, and so on. It was the break I had been looking for!
Despite having read over and over that arthritis was "incurable"
and that people with arthritis had to learn to live with
it for the rest of their lives, I found hope. Out of all
the informational sources I found, I learned that people
with arthritis had been curing themselves all these years! What
I learned was that there were four (4)
different methods that were used to cure arthritis. Each
source mentioned only one method, though. Some gave importance
to one method and briefly mentioned some of the others.
What I also learned was that some people got relief by using
one method more than another. So what
I did was combine ALL 4 methods into one
program , and by applying just one
of the initial methods, I
became totally pain-free in 3 days!
I have OsteoArthritis and Rhuematoid Arthritis. My Doctor has me on "methotrexate" which has really helped my Pain and stiff joints alot.
If effective, sulfasalazine doesn’t last much beyond a period of 18 to 30 months.
You should consider antibiotics which have been proven to induce remissions for at least 40%, if not 65% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
