So good to hear that you found what works for you. I know it is hard

going through the trial and error, but it seems to be the only way.

God bless,

Depending on how bad the arthritis is, you may not need insurance.

It's just a matter of what works for you and what doesn't. I have

tried many products with and without the doctor. I found the product

from my friend and I have been feling great.

a, While I might sound knowledgeable,

I am not medically trained so only use what I say as a guide to check out with

your doctor. I think of OA as wear-and-tear arthritis that comes as a

result of injury or excessive use (including old age). RA on the other

hand is an inflammation caused by the immune system malfunctioning to start

attacking some component of the joints. Often people have some

combination of the two types of arthritis and I don’t know how to tell

one kind from the other based on symptoms. I do think of RA as an

inflammatory disease that usually responds at least to some degree to anti-inflammatories

such as Ibuprofen but not as much to most pain killers like Tylenol or

Aspirin. I think doctors sometimes prescribe Prednisone because it is a

strong anti-inflammatory and will often act quickly to reduce the pain and

stiffness associated with RA, while I think it usually has minimal effect on

OA. Our reaction to medications like these helps in the diagnostic

process. I don’t know anything about how to read x-rays or MRIs but

I think a trained radiologist can tell which kind of arthritis you have from

reading these.

While Prednisone usually acts quickly to

get relief from RA it is not good to rely only on that to treat RA. It

has some bad side effects when used at high doses for long times and it is less

effective in slowing or stopping the progress of RA when compared to many other

medications. Most of us have a love/hate relationship with Prednisone

because we love what it does for us but hate what it does to us. I

started with Prednisone for quick relief while waiting for slower-acting RA

medications to take effect. We started on Arava, switched to

Methotrexate, and then when that was only partially successful we added

Remicade and that’s what I am on now. I am off Prednisone in

general but I still keep some on hand in case of unusual stress or symptoms and

use it as needed to keep the ability to function.

I hope this helps, but remember to check

with your doctor. If you want more opinions from me, don’t hesitate

to ask. I’m 80 years old and retired so I have time to answer.

God bless.

Harold, you sound knowledgeable, would you mind telling me

the way an ordinary relatively dumb person like myself would know the

difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis? I have so

many different parts of my body hurting or swollen, I'd like to be able to know

what specifically is causing it. Yes, I know, ask my doctor, but

sometimes he definitely appears as confused as I am (but he is indeed very

nice) Anyway, thanks a lot. a

I’m glad you have found something that works for you.

In looking this up on the web I see a lot of ingredients that studies have

shown to be good for osteoarthritis but not for rheumatoid arthritis. The

only similarities between the two are the names and joint pain. I would

like so see clinical trials of this with rheumatoid arthritis but in a quick

look I didn’t find any. God bless.

Ok thanks a lot Harold, appreciate it. a
