Every BODY is different -- DNA, you know -- which means you should go with what works for YOU. ORENCIA darn near killed me, made everything way worse, so I quit after four weeks. My current regimen is NO BIG PHARMA; 10 mg. Prednisone daily, one Vicodin 7.5 mg. in the morning to bash the pain so I can get going, & MMJ PRN throughout the rest of the day. Coupled with a STRICT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET & PROBIOTICS, I am feeling better than I have in ten years! Also, elimination of stress & depression brought on by the disease has been a major healing factor!

Stay strong. Try everything! Find what works best for YOU!!!
