@tabathab Your positive mindset will help you through this, but be kind to yourself, even if it's hard to do. Pushing too hard can be exhausting.
My doctor's concerned about longterm damage, so i take the meds, but definitely understand not wanting to. There's some recent research showing ginger and turmeric are promising for reducing inflammation. Ginger may also help with nausea, which i have from both methotrexate and Orencia. I drink a lot of (nonalcoholic) ginger beer made with real ginger, ginger tea, and have learned how to make candied ginger and ginger hard candy - maybe not the healthiest ways to get ginger but they're enjoyable. Except for eating curry, I find the turmeric harder to eat and take a supplement. Just some thoughts... 😉
