KeriEMTAZ Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I have been suffering with RA for 20 years now. Mine started 3 months after my only sibling brother was killed. My Dr said it was caused by stress and grief. I was for awhile taking Celebrex but cant anymore cause I had cancer last year which affected my kidneys. So Celebrex messes with the kidney's. I have heard using Glucosemin and Condrioition (sp?) but I havent really tried it. I am staying far far away from Humeria and those kind of drugs. One side affect is Lymphoma. Had that last year dont want it again! Going to the gym or with a trainer helps. Loosing weight (if needed) will do good on knees and hips. Heat also helps. I find that hot water works for my hands when my hands are stiff in the mornings. She could try parafin wax machines for her hands and feet. I have one and it helps relieve the pain for a time. Keri
