Lasted from 1982-1986..,saw rheumatologist every week for bloodwork.. Indocin 75 was a new med at the time took that the last couple of years... Had to wear wrist brace .. Could not get my feet in shoes .. Dr recommended New Balance and it was the most comfort I had.
I was living in Fla at the time.. He told me I was in the worst area I could be in.. Eventually moved to NC after a year here blood Work no longer had RA factor...i really got serious about my diet esp salt .. Foods low on the glycemic index as well..Had some residual damage to an ankle and joint in an index finger...

I hope you will find a med that will help ...
