Hi and welcome.

I'm not sure that I have any good answers for you. This is a great forum, I'm sure someone will be along who can help.
 
Thanks and I hope so I been taking anti inflammatory stuff and trying everything I can to take care of this pain its in my thumb and part of my hand it hurts but its some what manageable
 
welcome to the forum.
My daughter just started an anti inflammatory diet. It is only for a month but it will hopefully help her. She is starting to flare... and we took her off of all pharmaceuticals except for a cortifoam.

It is an extreme diet, but it is recommended by a natural path.
We are very hopeful.

she is also giving her supplements, and her own "remedy" she made up for her.

hope you find what works for you.
 
I never heard of myoflex but I am gna look into it later today and ur daughter has had a lot more meds then I have had well I hope her new path helps her and thanks and I hope I find something that can work I had 1 full week pain free but Monday started the joint swelling again and my next treatment ain't for 4 weeks and I feel that remicade ain't helping me anymore
