My husband has just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Are there any alternative meds that may help? |
He is 46 and it came on suddenly. He really suffers with it. The doc put him on Enbrol?? It's a weekly injection. We are waiting for it to be shipped to us so he can begin. I can't help but wonder if there are other options? There is another med he can't take because he has FLD.Anyone have alternative remedies that may help? Here are some ideas, all of which together will alleviate the pain and discomfort: --on a daily basis, take one tablespoon of an omega-rich oil like flax or cod liver. It is anti-inflammatory. --on a daily basis, take at least a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon. It contains chemicals that are also anti-inflammatory. --on a daily basis, do some lite exercise, like gardening housecleaning, working on the car, shopping . . . Keeping your body in a constant state of movement will really fight off the progressive nature of rheumatism, and will also alleviate current symptoms. --if you and your husband can work your way up to it, then go to a yoga class. In this case, it is the best way to fight/alleviate the symptoms. --green tea or yerba mate tea. These, when fresh brewed, contain complex chemicals that ward off the damage due to rheumatism, and slow the progression of future damage. Drink them on a daily basis. --Chondroiton and glucosamine. These have not been proven effective in people who do not suffer from rheumatism, but they have been shown to have mild therapeutic effects in people who have advanced rheumatoid arthritis. You must do these things on a daily basis. Give it a few weeks and you will feel a change. Best of luck to both of you, and I hope you post a follow up question, just to let us know how both of you are doing. Source(s): Personal experiences My wife has issues with arthritis. She started going to a chiropractor. It was after all the meds had been tried and not much was helping. I always thought chiropractic was witch-doctory...but I have since started going too. Give it a shot...low risk, potentially benefitting. move to a warm place like alberta Well, I've started using Tylenol Arthritis for the arthritis in my hip and it works wonders. Kinda like Vicodin but on a smaller and less dramatic scale. An extract of marijuana that does not make users ``high'' blunted the attack of rheumatoid arthritis in mice, scientists are reporting, suggesting a possible new weapon against the crippling disease that affects more than 2 million Americans. The substance is called cannabidiol, one of about 80 ingredients of marijuana. But it doesn't have any mind-altering properties, making it potentially easier to develop as a drug in today's legal environment, the researchers said. http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/6/threa... |
