My 25 year old daughter was diagnosed with it about 5 months ago. Hers affects her larger joints. Her knees and elbows. Her rheumatologist has her on a prescription anti inflammatory, folic acid and a strong RA drug. She started out on 3 tablets 1 a week and is now up to 6 with very little relief. Next month they will up her to 7 pills and that is the maximum. After that they will try a different drug. I feel so bad for her to be dealing with this so young. Not to mention the scary side effects these drugs can have. I would like to find a holistic remedy. I hope you can get some relief.
