As far as I can see there is no reported evidence that naltrexone is of any benefit to people with rheumatoid arthritis (a PubMed search, "naltrexone" and "arthritis", retrieves 32 papers, two of which suggest that naltrexone may help people with osteoarthritic pain but there is nothing there about rheumatoid arthritis).
People who live with rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from a referral to a specialist rheumatologist who will be able to do a detailed clinical investigation and then, in the light of that, discuss treatment/management options.

You are not going to find that much on pub med and probably never will because drug companies will never make money off of LDN. Many doctors are seeing LDN help their patients with RA and other automimmune diseases in a clinical setting. This isn't surprising given the 2 mechanims of action. And many RA patients are reporting improvements while taking LDN in my LDN groups.
