RA, Coumadin Therapy and Prednisone

Hello All,

I have a question? Is there anyone that has a condition called Protein C and S deficency, ( I am on coumadin, a blood thinner for this), that also has Rheumatoid Arthritis? My doctors want to start me on Prednisone and I am not pleased with the side affects that occur with this drug. I had three pulmonary embolism the last time they put me on a hormone. Not Good. I want to start glucosomine with boswellia, I've heard that is working on RA with not so many side affects. I take tart cherry juice now, helps some;)... I guess I'm looking for some advice from people who have been here for awhile. Thank you! CTW
