I have recently been diagnosed with RA. I am only taking prednisone right now. My dr has mentioned methotrexate and humara. I have been researching them and the side effects. I heard about a drug, LDN (low dose naltroxene). It is used for MS and Crohns both of which are autoimmune diseases. It says it will also help with RA
