I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for 43 years. I was a young teenager when we found out. Autoimmune diseases are tough but manageable. Sounds like your doctor is trying to find the right cocktail for your care and hopefully get it figured out soon. It takes awhile though. Holistic approach helps but medication is needed to help fight your future bone, organs and muscles care. Methotrexate is a good medicine to start with minimal side effects and can adjust the strengths for you. Just remember to keep your body moving even if you are in severe pain , fingers especially. Hang in there Brooke you got this. Just take one day at a time. You are a very strong woman. Hugs to you and your family

All good info for RA. I’ve found also there are foods that trigger inflammation and foods that reduce inflammation.

When you said I'm not an addict, it put me in mind of an AA meeting when people stand up to speak and announce that they are an addict. It made me giggle just a little bit. You guys always take such good care of your babies. They get the best that you have to give. I'm glad your inflammation levels have come down & they have added additional doses of your medication.

As soon as Brooke mentioned Tractor Supply I started smiling - more baby chicks were definitely in the barn. And that is a beautiful thing! Capri will soon fill-in around her hips and be even more stunning. Brooke's health update was great news! There's an adjustment time factor re RX for each patient. Finding the correct balance can involve smaller doses all along in lieu of monthly treatments. It seems Brooke's Specialist is focused on listening to her, asking pertinent questions and constantly researching options. Communication is paramount. This was definitely a GOOD NEWS VIDEO!!!!

brooke i was diagnosed in 2008 with rheumatoid arthritis and you are correct about the meds your body does become what i call immune to them from time to time and need to be switched up, the only advice i can give you is listen to your dr. and learn to give yourself grace on the days you "just Cant" i've learned that probably the hardest part of it is to depend on others when all your life you have always done things by yourself, well when your body is going through this, it is ok to just say "i cant today" accept the help, give yourself grace and know those helping you love you.

Brook, make sure you take a Folic Acid tablet the day after you take your Methotrexate. I started on Methotrexate tablets once a week, but now I’m on the injection as the tablet wasn’t working for me. The injection works so much better as it’s absorbed straight into the body, where the tablet has to go through the gut first. Hope it helps you feel better.

Many years ago I read in Prevention magazine about the nightshade family. They had a study group of folks that stayed totally off the nightshade family and some but inadvertently. Everyone has significant changes in there aggravation of the arthritis with listening there exposure to this particular family of vegetables and fruits. I made a mention of this to my daughter who has arthritis that goes with her psoriasis and she stated yes I've been eating a ton of bell peppers and oh that would stand to reason she had noticed a significant change recently in her arthritis. Also would like to share with everyone Dr Berg is a chiropractor that had his own share of health issues and now shares his knowledge with everyone on KZbin.
