Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.
Has anyone ever stopped taking the arthritic medications (e.g. MTX, Enbrel, etc.) and successfully went with natural things (e.g. glucosamine, chondroitn, MSM, Noni juice, etc.)?
If so, please tell me your success story.

Sorry no. I started on the natural things, along with OTC pain meds for those bad times, so while I know the natural ones can and do work for many (but not all) maybe you should try and find a dr of natural medicine who can help you. Maybe DrO (Oorange) on the DS site could help you with this one. BTW that name is not a typo.

My sister, my husband s well as myself used the natural products. We are pain free and have been for many years. My sis had RA and my hubby had gout. My joints were just falling apart. Bad shoulders, knees, elbows and more.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
