What Is The Best Medicine For Rheumatoid Arthritis?
I seem to have rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and the doctor is getting blood work and I am to see a rheumatologist. I have had hypothyroid problems for thirty years and have been on Synthyroid 112mcg. My question is does this type of situation flare up and go away or does does it get progressively worse? I work as a floral designer and am working on a children s book as an illustrator. I use my right hand all the time and that seems to be affected. My eyes seem to be affected also, extreme dry eye. I have not been formally diagnosed yet. What medication works and as far as vitamins, what is good?
