Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hello all, i'm new, and in Australia. I've had RA for ten years but haven't succumbed to drugs yet. I tried methotrexate initially but went off it in favour of herbal stuff to control symptoms. However i didn't realise this disease is quite vicious and still eats you up even while controlling symptoms. It makes you sicker and sicker. Now my joints are virtually destroyed, and i need knee replacements. I'm at the point where i must contemplate going on the DMARDs - i'm having a hard time coming to terms with it all and making a decision. Recently i started on the Antibiotics Protocol however and want to find out if it works for me before i do metho again. Since i'm a health nut and am interested in alt methods of healing, if anyone needs some pointers in that direction, i have some ideas and contacts which might help. Stuff along the lines of diet and detoxes and supplements etc. Has anyone else had a similar experience to me ? I think all of you have enormous courage to take the drugs for RA and try and live a normal life. It's not easy whichever way you decide to go. I don't judge anyone for their course of action. all the best, ~Leonie leoniecent@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
