I am sorry Kgat98, that sounds awful. I think it may help to look into healthy diet for RA and autoimmune arthritis...and maybe water therapy...these can often reduce inflammation and help with reducing pain and improving quality of life. You might also consider going to a Naturalpathic doctor who may be able to offer some other options. I will look into this more and try to post again. My sister was just diagnosed with Sill's disease and I am searching for help for her too. Good luck. I hope to find more. God bless you and I will be praying for you
