Osteoarthritis and rhumathoid

Hi for over three years I have had both conditions been on lots of different meds which top my blood count or liver. I am now on hydroxycloriqyin mild side which they say prob won't help much but I can't tolerate anything else. They have discussed biological Enbrel but day it's to expensive to prescribe. I live in naproxen and co cocodomal which they agree is not good. I can't hold a job down but don't claim benefits my family just help out. I try to not take things when just at home but dose up if I have anything to do. I have been told of CBD oil has anyone else tried it. I've tried so much and it's so expensive with no results. Also anyone been out put on Enbrel or know much about it. Feeling desperate and very depressed now it just seems endless. Hope all you people out there are coping and I feel for you all. Until i got this I admit I was ignorant to how bad it was so I understand why other people just shrug it off.

Hi Jadeash, I have tried CBD oil for a week as a pain reliever after trying everything the doctor prescribed. it didn't help me, I am awaiting a total hip replacement and the pain is excruciating, however it did help with toothache I had, so think it is worth a try. Luckily I can still get about on crutches and do try to see friends regularly, which really helps with the stress and depression. Yoga stretching may help as it focuses the mind on something other than the pain and improves flexibility within the joints. Best wishes!
