Suggest Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis

I am currently taking 5 mg of oxycodone 2 to 3 times a day for about six months with meloxicam for rhumetiod arthritis . I tried stopping the oxycodone to try alternative stuff and started to get ill with cold symptoms the second day with muscle pain and intestinal discomfort . I heard that bupinorphine works well and does not have such a strong withdrawal if you start taking less . how do I find a doctor

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are prescribed in severe cases.
As you have RA test positive prognosis is not too good.
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

Will not be any improvement by buprenorphine.
