Treating rheumatoid arthritis?


I have a friend that has recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. She is in her early forties and her job does require she stay on her feet most of the day.

I know this is not a curable condition but I was wondering if anyone could share some tips with me on how to alleviate some of the symptoms (without drugs).

Thanks in advance.

I was told recently that a hot tube will relieve the pain and reduce the symptoms, this from someone who has taken steroids for the last 20 years to address the condition.

Don't know about without drugs but with drugs, usually try NSAIDS. When all else fails, Rituximab works WONDERS!

Well I have had JRA ever since I can remember (12 now) and I am on Celebrex and Prevacid........but its a prescription med. Idk if that helped but.......
