welcome to healthcaremagic
it is better you consult rheumatologist and get explained about your mode of treatment
as it is an autoimmune disorder with waxing and waning you need to have immuno suppresive medicines as advised and to be continued as per regular assesment of you condition
weight reduction will help a lot in your conditions
