Hi Tim ~ Have you been to a Rheumatologist? It would probably be a good idea if you did. They specialize in Arthritis and know what drugs work the best. I'd suggest that you get a referral to one, and see what they can do for you. There is NO reason for you to suffer like this.
I have the "other" kind of arthritis -- the Osteoarthritis. While it's painful, I'm SURE it's not as bad as what you're going thru.
I hope you find some relief --- but I'm sure a Rheumatologist can help you. I wish you the very best. I'm so sorry for the delay in answering your post. this site hasn't been very busy for some reason. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
