My only comment is with RA ( and OA) for over 35 years I have never been without pain! But prednisone ( presently 5 mg) worked best always tho addiction and now muscle atrophy has been the price. Also take methotrexate, Tylenol , IV Orencia biological, and Cymbalta. Still so much pain - good luck! Tips welcome…

Not to be nosy but are you saying that due to addiction issues you can’t take anything for pain. Because “quality of life” is important also! Forgive me if I crosses your boundary.

My husband takes Kineret injections daily. He has pseudo gout and pseudo rheumatoid arthritis. Is finally helping after 2- yr

As someone who is autoimmune prone (and born with migraines) pain and I are old friends. My neurologist swares by Low dose Naltrexone for chronic pain. You can not use it with opiates and I have found Cymbalta counter-productive. So, watch out. Read about it first and you decide.
