Rheumatoid Arthritis
"After a double synovectomy of my right wrist and left elbow in 1985 at the age of twenty, I had sixteen years of remission, until 2001 when I had a downward spiral rheumatic flare.  I was disabled for eight months and my Rheumatologist put me on very high doses of Methotrexate and Vioxx.  I was only able to walk with a cane.  Relief in 2002 to 2003 and another flare-up dislocated my left wrist and crippled my fingers.  Started the year 2004 with a synovectomy of the left wrist.  At this point I had enough of the Methotrexate and Vioxx.  I sought alternative treatments of Gloucosamine/MSM, with Tylenol Arthritis for pain.  2006 Flare-up, I moved to RTP,  where my Doctor introduced me to Remicade with medium doses of Methotrexate.  No pain, I&#039;m happy."
