I'd like to know how that works for you. I too am very frustrated because I have been on 5 medications since 2014 and so far nothing has worked. I take Prednisone daily and have for 8 months. Prednisone is the only way I get some sort of relief. Prednisone keeps my blood pressure high, and is making my sugar high enough that I will have to be treated as a diabetic next month if still high. I have RA in every joint but effects my feet and hips the most. I'm on my feet 10-12 hours a day and it requires a lot of walking; (airport) frustrating when you can barely walk but have to work anyway. I pray that something works soon because some days I feel like I can't take anymore. Wishing you well, hope it works out for you.

Just remember it takes time to reach therapeutic levels in your body. Give it a chance. It helped me many years ago until I built an immunity. Make sure you rest as much as possible and give it a chance to work for you.
