RA has a bad reputation because it may cause crippling joint deformities. Other symptoms involve both hands waving with lumps under skin (nodules), swelling, redness (when inflammed) and fatigue (especially after exercise).

The conventional drugs used may cause severe side effects. I prefer alternative supplements, i.e., NORDIC NATRUALS OMEGA 3-6-9, BLACK CHERRY JUICE, ZYFLAMEND, and/or GLUCOSAMINE WITH MSM BY JARROW OR NATURE’S PLUS.

Try to get into a good pool program for gentle exercise — water is very therapeutic and beneficial for RA patients.
