My 6 Biggest Mistakes With RA

[@druidee1]

Got my Rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis on monday may 6th after a month of sore elbows, rotator cuff and groin muscle stiffness and then waking up with both hands in agony. I have a 6 week wait until i can see a Rheumatologist. So far ive gone from ibuprofen to celecoxib and found no difference other than ibuprofen doesn't make me as drowsy. Ive cut my cigarette smoking down over 50%, with intent to quit very soon (hard to do when stressed). Ive got fish oil, vitamin d and c, glucosamine + condroitin, curcumin, magnesium and zinc supplements. First thing i do when i wake is drink a glass of water with a pinch of salt, then have a mug of green tea with a teaspoon of collagen bone broth and olive oil mixed in (3 birds, one stone), then a stretch routine for about 10 minutes before eating a small high fibre breakfast, usually an apple and oatmeal cereal. Then i take my supplements. I'm new to this disease and am praying i can put it into remission. Thanks for the vid!

[@NoName-hs4ov]

Stop smoking, get your testosterone levels and estrogen checked. Get the Dr to give you a shot of B12. If test & estrogen are low, get on TRT.

[@lidyanaredeemed9848]

Great jobs! How about replacing the fish oil with Chia seed and flaxseed! These are the most potent omega 3 fatty acids! Buy these two seeds and use it every day with your oats in the morning. Two tablespoons of each will do magic! Stay strong. Prayer is the most dangrous weapon to any disease. God bless you! Seek the Lord and accept Jesus as your savior!

I was diagnosed with RA in 2018 at age 73. It was in the mtp joints in both feet. They were so infected they were squishy when squeezed. I was given Plaquenil 400 mg. After about 6 weeks the joints had healed up. I had 4 yrs with no symptoms. In 2022 I developed pain in my left hip. Added leflunomide 10 mg 5 days a week in addition to the Plaquenil The hip joint healed up quickly. I had no symptoms until the spring of 2024 when I had joints in hand start hurting as well as some joints in my feet Was given leflunomide 20 mg every day. It has put it back total remission.

[@dudleyhardial2273]

I am surprised that you didn't get a cortisone injection soon enough. Unfortunately for me I had to wait four months to get my cortisone shot in my right knee, even after virtually begging my GP for one. I still get symptoms in my right hand, and requested another shot in it, but the Rheumatologist won't allow this. Like you, I am doing resistance and strength training to help with the daily symptoms. I am now not taking any RA medication, and my symptoms are much less severe than they were before coming off them. Every one is different so do what is best for you when dealing with this horrible disease.

I was diagnosed 17 years ago when RA attacked my left knee. It was 2 months before my right knee was affected. The pain was excruciating. It took 3 months to see a Rheumatologist who put me on Plaquenil for 3 months before adding Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine. She also tried Arava but I was allergic. RA hit my shoulders, feet and hands next. I was on this drug regime for 7 years while continuing to suffer flares. Finally I was given Simponi at the 7 year point and achieved good control which lasted until this Spring when my RA became active, CRP jumped from 16 to 35, my liver enzymes became elevated and I developed diverticulitis. My Rheumatologist has recently increased the frequency of Simponi and lowered my Methotrexate dose. Fingers crossed that this will help 🤞

[@guyk7496]

Methotrexate is essentially a type of chemo therapy for those that don't know. My liver enzymes skyrocket while on it. You must not drink any alcohol with methotrexate it will destroy your liver and cause inflammation. Cut out as much sugar as possible in your diet. ( Major contributor to inflammation.) Get your weight down as much as possible, its another major contributor to inflammation. Exercise is essential. Especially resistance training to build muscle so your joints don't have to work as hard. I take plaquenil now and it has helped more than the other drugs I have tried. I am also on Enbrel which I am not convinced helps much. Nsaids destroy your kidneys when used chronically or in high doses. Steroids help but have long term consequences as well.

[@lesleywallace2354]

It's not chemo on the small dose given , it makes immune system to slow down

Just found + subscribed to your wonderful channel. I will watch all episodes. I am 72 years of age and have always been an energetic active person. I'm a true believer in a reasonably healthy proper diet, plenty of exercise (taking care of my large and small farm critters) and have had a genuinely positive attitude all my adult life. However I have had RA and OA since August 2021. Had my GP do blood work then, thinking I had gout in one finger but that was just the beginning. Horrible pain and swelling began in my big toes, both feet, both knees, hands, wrists and fingers. Since 2021 RA Doctor has me on 30ml weekly Methotrexate, no shots or other meds except Folate. Metho made me lose a lot of my thick gray hair (about 3% of people do). Early on I immediately started to read everything I could find about the dragons in my body. I drastically changed my diet, Lost 50 lbs in a few months (though I was not overweight) In doing so I lost muscle mass and.....well you know these stories I am sure. It has settled in my right knee and right hand/wrist for last 2 years. I take 200 ml Advil if I have to go out driving but otherwise just take things easy. If I overwork certain areas gardening or lifting heavy things I pay for it for a few days. Enough for now! Cortisone shot may be in my future as I want to travel a bit. Bless you for your wisdom and sharing. I am a sponge for all info I can find. I am not a fan of medical doctors but do have my blood work done quarterly so I can monitor my own status. I look forward to reading your book!🙂

[@Drivehead103]

Careful with exercise. After a rough episode I got to where I could walk pain-free for a couple of days. Decided to do 10 Deep knee bends. It may have only been five knee bends. 5 minutes later I was in pain from the knee bends. I did them nice and slow, did not feel like it was hurting anything.

[@JF-kv1gm]

Got diagnosed with RA 4 months ago and have been on Methotrexate for 2 months. Some improvement and am reducing the only pain relief I take at night. The worst remaining pain is terrible inflammation in my shoulders and inability to raise my right arm which my rheumatologist says isn't RA seeing as I'm at the onset on the illness. Am starting to eat differently...no dairy, no pork/red meat, no wheat, no sugar and reduced fruit. At the moment it feels like punishment but hoping it will an improvement. Already have 2 hip replacements.

[@majaber1]

Thanks JF, Would love to have an update on your diet and whether it has made any difference?

[@JF-kv1gm]

​@@majaber1 hi there. Yesterday was Easter day...and my elderly in-laws are now living with us...so, the traditional lunch of tortelli, grilled meat etc.was the menu. I ate small portions of each course, the ingredients are all "off limits" for me. Today both hands are swollen, I have rigidity and pain in my left hand which is feeling like it did at the end of last year. So, I am all-the- more convinced that, for me personally, this limited diet is suiting me. I'm off pain relief, my rheumatologist has said I can stop taking cortisone and wants to see me in 6 months. My shoulder is improving, I am back to exercising daily, hooray (low impact speed walking and full body workouts, am not doing any weights for a while). How are you?

[@JustJulesAgain]

Hum, my left shoulder hurt, my fingers still got messed up on my left hand as well. On the meds. I hated them they made me exhausted. Dr wouldn't do xray. Had bone spurs.

[@JF-kv1gm]

@@JustJulesAgain that sounds so depressing!😔 I'm experiencing my first flare , I guess. My feet are both swollen painful and rigid. Can't even wiggle my toes. My wrists are rigid and swollen too. I don't even have my rheumatoligist's number (such are things in the public health system in Italy) and I know that if I go to my family doctor, I will only be told to see my rheumatologist....which can take months. So, gritting my teeth to see if it passes. Still on the methotrexate jabs though off the cortisone.

I eat a low-carb diet stay away from sugar, drink plenty of water and exercise every day- at least 45 minutes on the treadmill and usually do this 2-3 times a day. Keeping yourself moving is the key. I’ve never needed any injections. I do take methotrexate once a week and Humira injections every two weeks.

I’m 44, diagnosed at the age of 26. My left knee is also my most affected joint , recently had an MRI that showed how damaged then cartilage behind the patella is . I’m in constant pain and that’s gotten worse lately . I’ve done resistance training for the past 6-7 years , always wearing tight knee sleeves which I felt were helpful but now my knee is finally giving out and I’m devastated . My kids are only 8 and 11 and I’m so tired all the time , it breaks my heart . I miss working out but I’m in a lot of pain right now and I’m afraid of the cortisone shot because I’ve also read that it can accelerate the deterioration of the cartilage.

I was just diagnosed last week with PMR. I've been prescribed Prednisone. But I want to do your RA program instead. What are your thoughts on this? I'm deciding between doing a week of the Pred to drop my CRP (18) level or just starting right into the two day fast and going from there on your program. My concern is that doing a fast right after being on Pred might not be good....

I’m right there with you with the resistance training! But I’m just so frustrated! Because I have both both sides piriformis which affects also low back and hip problems. It’s like a triangle of dysfunction going on there and it prohibits me from doing all the weight training that I wanna do the only thing I could do is upper body weights and to me I guess it’s like. Eh - 🙄-upper body. It’s not really nowhere near the whole picture of what I need to do you know? I don’t know…. I’ve been off of weights for probably a year and a half now because of all the endless injuries, including shoulder issues from perimenopause, and probably this inflammation marker which I am suspecting might be RA.

He doesn't want to get sued as the baby would be deformed. Its a horrid drug anyway. Hyrdc is a better option. See how you go on it.

Cheers mate, I appreciate the real John Dory, I once knew an ol bloke, a true banana benda' who had RA bad, who neva' stopped smoking two packs of camel non-filters and drank a 5th of Jack a day. A true Ocker ya know always ate what he wanted. Finally, when it was time for him to, do 'the Harry'....he went in style and I'm sure a LOT of pain!! R.I.P ya ol' Galah!!

How heavy of weights would you suggest for resistance training? I have been trying to progressive overload but am scared I will go too heavy and injure joints/tendons.

[@trevorjessen8310]

Yep methotrexate is the only drug that has the results

I have RA and my dr. Gave me mtx then hcqs nd then saaz after 10 days of each tablet make me sick having vomiting Dirrahea weakness what should i do?? Because of these symptoms my dr. Stop all dmards and gave me nsads😢

[@Alexander-ec6jd]

Try carnivore diet, I been on mtx on 3 different occasions, suppressed my ra complete every time. It always came back once I stopped. I’ve been experimenting with diet and carnivore plus cabbage juice seems working for me, not taking any meds for over one year now. Had RA for 8 years now

[@FreshAgenda]

​@@Alexander-ec6jd that's an awesome story. I've been on carnivore for a month, but no miracle relief yet. However I've been drinking coffee and stevia... I'm going to drop those to see what happens. I will have to go on mtx for the first time at the end of the month which scares me to death. I've had anti ccp positive RA for 3.5 years.

[@Alexander-ec6jd]

@@FreshAgenda Drop stevia for sure, triggered my inflammation a lot. Coffe better to drop as well, I did it over a few weeks, by reducing intake slowly. Mtx are nothing to be scared off, really worked like a charm for me, sometimes I would get a bit nauseous the day after intake, but not the end of the world. Good luck💪

[@FreshAgenda]

@@Alexander-ec6jd thanks! I wish there were more RA success stories out there like yours. Others like myself are empowered by them. It means alot.

[@Alexander-ec6jd]

@@FreshAgenda same, my doctor told me that in a few of his patients, RA just stopped of it self (1 in a 1000s). In the end of the day it’s just our immune system that are acting up and not some kind of virus. My RA are not gone though, just controlled/remission when I’m eating correctly, once in a while I have cheat meal, lots of cakes/fries/pizza etc. having flare ups up to a week after 😂 Try water fasting, 48h. Helps me to put down flare ups quick 😊

If you had to choose between taking Prednisolone or NSAIDS for several months to a year, what would you choose and why?

[@RheumatoidSolutions]

I would use all the other anti inflammatory strategies I teach in our Program nstead of doing that for a year.

you must take methotrexate and add half tab 2.5 mg prednisone in night and take voltarin 50 one or half of it

[@JerryTitus]

Im guessing your first experience was with predisone. Was this a rheumatologist that let you take that much, so early on, without explanation?

[@RheumatoidSolutions]

I have never taken steroids

[@JerryTitus]

@@RheumatoidSolutions My mistake... what specifically were you talking about at 1:40 ish then?

50% of what you just talked about was complete waste of time. Talking to talk, just state the facts🤦‍♂️
