Hello,

I have studied your case and drugs with diligence.

NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are prescribed in severe cases.
As you have RA test positive prognosis is not too good.
Newer biologics have role in RA.
These medicines have lot of side effects and you may tolerate them.
Are you obese?

I have lot of experience of patient of RA and long term results with allopathic medication are not satisfactory,so consult me directly for further assistence.
There is good role of diet and achieve correction through it,for details you can directly contact on my profile
