I am 68 years old vegetarian male, height 165 cms, weight 66 kgs and suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis since last 10 years. Main areas of the body which are affected are - Both Ankles, Both Wrists, Both Thumbs and Two Fingers in left hand. A Few Orthopedics I had consulted invariably put me on one or the other pain killer which had no long term benefit or relief. On the contrary, two years ago, suddenly I started feeling very weird in my head and entire body. After going through MRI, Blood and other tests, I was diagnosed with Hematoma and had to undergo brain surgery. Within one month of the operation, I was back to normal - I thank God, my family members, the Neurologist and the Surgeon for all this success. Since than, I have almost stopped taking Pain Killers unless absolutely required for stiffness, pain and swellings, although I know it gives only temporary relief and Adverse Side Effects in bonus! Now another Doctor has suggested me to consult Rheumatologist, but I am unable to find one where I live. Can any Rheumatologist suggest me appropriate cure for this ailment with all DO's and DONT's, the food, medicines etc I should consume and all the relevant information with details? Is this disease really non-curable? I would certainly and very much appreciate it.
Sincerely,
B.J. Trivedi.
