Hello @jacquianddan, Welcome to Connect. I haven't had rheumatoid arthritis but I have had PMR twice and am happy it's been in remission for the past six years. My mother had RA and I can remember how painful it was for her since there wasn't a lot of medications to help for her.

There is a discussion on PEA if you want to learn what others have shared.
