I have RA and seem to be out here alone doing supplements and not taking anything to suppress my immune system. I would love to hear from anyone else who just takes an occasional anti inflammitory and controls RA without the meds.
For pain in the long muscles aka Fibromyalgia please try K-Mag by Source Naturals. It is magnesium and potassium aspartate. It get energy to the muscles and helps athletes with endurance. I took it as a fluke and it works every time and stops the muscle pains the same day. Only that brand seems to work. Metagenics makes Fibroplex for fibromyalgia but I have not tried it.
For the fatigue which I described as a "coma like fatigue", I used Gary Craigs EFT on myself and resolved it in about two weeks. You can download his course free from the internet. Or contact him to find a practioner who does EFT. You can read about it very easily. His newsletter says some books have been released that he has written too, so you may find a book about EFT in the bookstore
I have been able to control the Joint pain with a minimum of supplements (initially I tried them all) and now function at a high level of activity.
I have RA now for two and a half years.
The winter before last I could not turn on my side in bed, could not scratch my head, could not use a can opener or knife, could function for about 3 hours and collapse exhausted. There was no muscle strength to push myself into a standing position. My ankles were turning in, and I shuffled when I walked. I could not fit into a pair of shoes that I owned and bought all new shoes. Birkenstocks are my favorite and they helped strengthen my feet. My feet are no longer swollen and my ankles are straight.
If any would like the information about my personal Journey to health please contact me sharonbgood@mac.com
Blessing for healing and health
