To anyone looking for a natural alternative method of handling RA pain, i discovered a very good soluti aton three years ago and I'm a renewed person because of it. I've been given back my dignity and independance, which is so important to me. It's Mangosteen juice, made from the mangosteen fruit tha...

     This is something else really works, I feel no pain at all.  Finally young again

    vitamins that work when taken together daily

    When I was 21 I was diagnosed with R.A.  I am now 32 and my R.A. was extremly painful and crippling, I had a hard time getting out of bed, walking and even lifting, I came to accept my illness and live inside an old womens body.  I had tried all kinds of meds, myths ect.  Nothing really made me feel good because if it wasn't the pain from R.A. it was the pain the meds made me feel.

    Through the years my mom would order things for me to try and one day she called and said "I have it" "the cure"  I listened and wrote down what she had told me and put it on the back burner.  A few months later I was in extreme pain and my mom asked if I was taking what she had told me, of course no.  I couldn't find it with in to go out and buy more stuff that wouldn't work.

    Well I finally did and it has been a blessing, I finally feel like I should and my inflammation doesn't exist.  For the first time in at least 3 years I can raise my arms above my head.

    This is what I take:

    1-Daily Multi Vitamin

    1-Fish Oil Capsule

    3-Vitamin C @ 500mg

    5-Vitamin E

    1-Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate

    1-MSM

    1-Garlic pill

     

    I take this daily at the same time, I tried to take it all in the morning but night time is better because you will burp fish oil and taste garlic.  It works for me and has others.  Good luck!

    Hi - I'm glad you had good fortune with the fish oil.  My husband (who doesn't have RA) takes it regularly with no problem, along with garlic.  Me - it gives me instant reflux! But - I love fish so I have fish twice a week, usually.

    I do totally agree with the glucosamine and MSM.  I take Osteobiflex with has those and chondroitin and some vitamin C as well.  I can't tolerate much C, I actually didn't know it was there, but I don't take a multivitamin (long story, won't go into that).

    I also take a biologic drug Enbrel along with Celebrex.  I am positive for anti-CCP antibodies (sign of erosive disease) and had wrist damage within the first six months of being diagnosed.  But I still notice a difference if I don't take the vitamins and supplements!

    Best wishes,

    Ellen
