Hello Im currently taking turmeric and it is helping me. but i want to make sure that I dont have a relaps. I know of a friend who had a relaps but she was on humera. I stop it because of the headache and sinus infection and bronchitis to I feel better and rest more too. and now that I also have high blood preassure to and diverticulitis and diverticulousis it does not help at all.
Q: Has anyone try using the herbal supplement Turmeric and has it help at all with your RA?

A lot of herbal remedies help some of us, others not so much. If it is benefitting you to a point that you do not need anything else, they you are among some of the lucky ones.
As far as "relapse" at this point there is no cure for RA. Our symptoms come and go but that does not mean that damage is not occurring. Only blood tests can prove an actual "remission" when our disease is not active. Other than that, we live through flares and each day is different and each one of us are different.
Keep up whatever works for you. I am happy for you!!

Is tumeric the only supplement your taking. Tumeric is only good for some people ....i have high white count, the cats claw brings the white down and also relieves inflametion. if you reaserch on line you will read all about it. i did take tumeric but there wernt as many benifits, as with cats claw also i am taking a aderanel responce .......you can get that off amazon......i take 300mg of cats claw per day in a capsule, 1 aderanel responce which is healty blood nutrients for woman. and also enzee it is digestive enzymes. which are tablets. sometimes depending what i eat. i can now tell which foods agravate my body. so far its wheat and cheese. i do get an ache hear and there but it beats taking methaltraxate, i am a breast cancer survivor, no more meds for me
