Fasting can work miracles. Whenever I feel a flare coming on, I stop eating for at least 24 hours. Most times the flare goes away. 4:12
Are you kidding? Please stop blaming real pain on psychosomatic elements or episodes. This is not ok.
I have a flare up in my knee at the moment. Lasting about 2 weeks now. I do not take pharma drugs and I am looking for holistic medicine information
Don’t overlook Navkarshik Churna by Planet Ayurveda in such cases — it really helps.
No chance of seeing my rheumatologist and I can’t walk
try Coral calcium complex by the planet ayurveda. It is herbal and really effective.
I messaged my doctor I’m going through a lot of pain that’s the first time I felt this way in my shoulder wrist and knees I’m unable to get off bed , and she didn’t even response
I can’t even imagine having a doctor who would see me during a flare up. It takes me a minimum of 3 months just to get an appointment with my family doctor. This is Canadian health care.
I'm 20 years old, I've been suffering from this since I was 17. And here's what I want to tell you: my disease is not as terrible as the treatment. I take methotrixate every week and it's misery. Side effects like chemotherapy.
Medrol pack very effective for a flareup.
Diclonofac topical is useless.
In the worst right now due to fall change !!!! Its getting ready to!! Been very sore and stiff in the mornings. Strerching in the AM helps!!!!!
None of that stuff helps
I wish I could find help. Tried all of this and I got so scared to eat I’m down to 100lbs n I’m 43 diagnosed at 5 years old😢
If all doctors were like you… I live in Poland and they don't have time to discuss with their patients, they just prescribe medications and don't even ask or explain how they work…
Just wanted to share, my new night time routine is to bath in warm water, then after massage with extra virgin olive oil. Then i boil dried oregano and strain . Squeeze a dash of lemon in it and drink with 2 spoons olive oil. This has reduced my pain in the morning
I have skin flare ups. My doctor just said it’s normal. I went to unprocessed foods and mostly protein on my own. He just nodded. My RA is ocular. Currently having uviteis being seeing by a retina specialist who discovered the RA. Now adding Actlar to my Humira regimen.
Thanks doctor for your useful advices. Truly, I find them helpful to my case.
Hi DR,
Im from Australia, I've had RA since 2014 and I'm a male and I'm fit and active etc… im 34 now , my dr just switched my injections from Enbrel50mg/brenzys50mg to now a new injection called actemra. I have been getting bad flare ups on my right knee to the point I can not move and walk around. I have taken prednisone 25mg for 5 days in a row now and still the same swelling. What do you think it can be ? Because I watched in your video flare ups can happen when a doctor changes treatment. I wont be able to see my DR until his back from Sweden in 12 weeks and I havent got any other doctor to go to atm and hence why i am watching your video and asking this question.
Hopefully you can guide me to some information.
Exellent very informative.In clinic these rheumatologist dont give you any infomation on Seronegative RA and how to manage these flares.
I am losing my vision. i saw many eye specialist.but none of them could help me.i have joint pain also.what to do.

Is there any permanent cure of rheumatoid arthritis.
People the best thing to use is CBDoil. Been using it for 2 years and stopped all the drugs for RA. Feel like a new man and no more pain
Can Creatine help with RA?
I have never reached stable. I have severe aggressive RA. How long will it take to find the right mix of meds?
Im in severe pain. I came not find a rheumatologist i had one cancel on me when i showed up. I have had the gastric sleeve surgery and can not take oral pain medication or anything that contains like motrin etc i need help advice fast. I can only use injections or pain patch.
I've experienced most of these same triggers.
