Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 This weekend while I was back home to attend the funeral of my aunt, I saw a distant cousin, nicknamed " Man. " He's the second cousin of my aunt and my mother, so I guess he's my second cousin once removed. I found out that he also has RA, so that's three of us in my family. He got it when he was 70 and is 76 now. He was taking mtx, but then started taking two products called Arthro-7 and Mega MSM, and his symptoms were alleviated. His doctor told him to keep doing whatever he was doing. He even brought me some ordering information. The products are pretty expensive. I think I'll stick with my mtx, Arava, and Bextra. I don't put too much faith in herbal remedies, but I did find it interesting that they brought him relief. Or so he thinks, anyway. It was also interesting to find someone else in the family who has RA. I guess it came from my maternal grandmother's family. How many of you with RA have tracked down where it probably originated from? Sue in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
