I'm a new person. Last week and for months i've thought i was dying from the horrible pain.

Hi,

Really pleased you found something that works for you, thanks for sharing that!

You must feel like you have a new lease of life

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! Did you just start taking it?

Hi, i used to work in a doctors office and i remember one of the doctors telling me something called milk thistle worked very well for arthritis. Its a natural product.

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and wondered if anyone here had any experience with it and how you treated it. I will be seeing a rheumatologist later next month, but I'm not very patient and am trying to educate myself as much as possible beforehand. So thanks in advance for any info. you have to share

Yeah, I've got it, pretty bad some days. I am talking predniSONE, a steroid, and Gabapentin.
When my hands and fingers hurt, I use an old mechanic's trick. WD-40. Spray some in my hand, rub it in all around, rub it in good, and it works good. Good luck to you friend, you can get by, but it hurts, a lot sometimes.
