Rheumatoid arthritis- anytricks?

I have rheumatoid arthritis, i'm 14 and i live in maine. My parents and I have
no intention of
moving, but on somedays, especially in the winter, the pain is unbearable. I was
wondering if
anyone has any tricks or homeopathic ideas. Because the pain meds I am on are
the only
ones that don't affect my liver. My doctors wont change them. But they make me
so loopy I
can't do regular things.
I do have AAT SZ gene, so all supplements are out. and i'm allergic to bees so
that one is out.
And i have asprin sensitive asmtha so nothing with that in it.
Please email me.
Thanks a bunches

Arielle,
Honey I feel your pain! I am 38 and have RA as well. There are no tricks. I live in Ohio, and understand the winter months being difficult. We too are not moving anytime soon. I wish I had an answer for you. Best thing you can do is find a good rhuematologist that will listen to your needs. My heart goes out to you and I wish you best of luck. I use a good soak in the jacuzzi-super hot water, sometimes I sleep with a heating pad under my shoulder where it is worse. This is one of those diseases that cannot kill you just make you miserable at times. I will keep you in my prayers~good luck to you my friend.

What about Aleve?

here are a few links tha should help you

Hope they help you feel better soon.

I have Psoriasis and RA do not know about AAT SZ but I do have Raised Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 globulin's? However I was put on Evening Primrose Oil in 1998 and since then have not looked back. Prior to this I was in Hospital twice a year, spring and autumn, not anymore. Likewise I cannot have the Methotrexate let alone what they term DMARs or new biological treatments TNF's. However, 49 going on 50 had Arthritis at 21, so reckon I am doing pretty good. That is the only trick I have, plus a low fat diet, watch body weight, keep exercising and develop a good sense of humor. Best of Luck
