Hi Sheila, Can you share which drugs you're using? If you have some concern with your medications, have you looked into alternatives? If so, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine may offer some helpful information that you can discuss with your doctor, who should be willing to spend a little more time with you. Is your doctor a rheumatologist? And while there are many proven traditional treatments for RA, it's important not to replace them with a complementary treatment that is unproven. If you'd like to find out more about Complementary and Alternative Treatments for RA, you can find out about botanicals, vitamins, dietary approaches, hydrotherapy and more at the below link:
