There are many supplements that may help with the pain of various forms of arthritis and some of no one suggested to help our omega-3, fish oil, glucosamine, vitamin D. Before taking any supplements, you may want to run it by your rheumatologist, just to make sure that they won't interact with any of your other medications. One note: stay away from immune boosters like Echinacea, etc., as they can cause a flare of RA.
