I was diagnosed with RA in 2016 after an emergency surgery of a colon perforation and went into septic shock. I also have Osteoarthritis in my knees, hips, and spine. I have been on 8 different meds, including Methotrexate, Orencia, Leflunomide, Humira, Enbrel, Xeljanz, Rinvoq, and Plaquenil. They all have tremendous side effects for me, but the one that seems to work is Plaquenil. My CRP and SED rates are still pretty high. I am now going away from Pharmaceuticals (they never seem to cure,
just treat symptoms) and looking into natural ways to reduce inflammation and go into remission and seek a cure like: fasting, Mediterranean diet, absolutely no sugar, acupuncture treatments, meditation and spiritual healing.
