Hi
Went through your post and understand your concern, RA is a crippling disease and sometimes very difficult to control, you have switched from allopathic to homeopathic meds, I would suggest you take either of two not together because the chemical composition of homeopathic meds is not known and it may be same as that of some allopathic meds used in RA and will result in doubling therapeutic dose.
Presently the meds available for RA in allopathy are very good especially biological meds which can control very severe disease, so discuss with your rheumatologist regarding same..
Hope you are satisfied with answer.
Regards.
