THis old guy needs some feedback... [View all]

[Stratetalker]

Folks, I am an RA sufferer. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago when my fingers and wrists became so painful that driving and other activities became difficult. I am managing ok right now with a noninflammatory diet, as much exercise as I can muster, and dosage of meloxicam.
I am considering other therapies in a more holistic sense.....like kava kava or white willow bark. My doc, even though she is a very nice woman, doesn't seem to put much truck up by my questions about these natural meds. Does anyone out there have any insight as to what benefit/side effect these two products hold? Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks....Stratetalker
