Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 So good to hear that you found what works for you. I know it is hard going through the trial and error, but it seems to be the only way.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Depending on how bad the arthritis is, you may not need insurance. It's just a matter of what works for you and what doesn't. I have tried many products with and without the doctor. I found the product from my friend and I have been feling great. > > > > I am 28 yrs old and have RA since I was 20 yrs old.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 a, While I might sound knowledgeable, I am not medically trained so only use what I say as a guide to check out with your doctor. I think of OA as wear-and-tear arthritis that comes as a result of injury or excessive use (including old age). RA on the other hand is an inflammation caused by the immune system malfunctioning to start attacking some component of the joints. Often people have some combination of the two types of arthritis and I don’t know how to tell one kind from the other based on symptoms. I do think of RA as an inflammatory disease that usually responds at least to some degree to anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen but not as much to most pain killers like Tylenol or Aspirin. I think doctors sometimes prescribe Prednisone because it is a strong anti-inflammatory and will often act quickly to reduce the pain and stiffness associated with RA, while I think it usually has minimal effect on OA. Our reaction to medications like these helps in the diagnostic process. I don’t know anything about how to read x-rays or MRIs but I think a trained radiologist can tell which kind of arthritis you have from reading these. While Prednisone usually acts quickly to get relief from RA it is not good to rely only on that to treat RA. It has some bad side effects when used at high doses for long times and it is less effective in slowing or stopping the progress of RA when compared to many other medications. Most of us have a love/hate relationship with Prednisone because we love what it does for us but hate what it does to us. I started with Prednisone for quick relief while waiting for slower-acting RA medications to take effect. We started on Arava, switched to Methotrexate, and then when that was only partially successful we added Remicade and that’s what I am on now. I am off Prednisone in general but I still keep some on hand in case of unusual stress or symptoms and use it as needed to keep the ability to function. I hope this helps, but remember to check with your doctor. If you want more opinions from me, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m 80 years old and retired so I have time to answer. God bless.
