What To Do For Rehumatoid Arthritis?

Old Doc. prescribed me medical cannabis, the new Doc. found out and treats me lousy and cuts xanax by 2/3 s, and hydrocodone by 1/2. I m 67 with very bad back, facet disease, etc., rehumatoid arthritis. I guess he s afraid of losing power, believes 70 years of government lies about cannabis, or is just a _____! I just want to be active, not high, and take care of my house and do things with the least amount of pain as possible. What should I do??

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

Cannabis is not solution for RA.

NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are prescribed in severe cases.
Newer biologics have role in RA.

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
