Hi! feeling good that you are very concerned with your spouse health. If his disease activity not improves with Remicade only , there are various combined regimens available. kindly talk to his treating Physician. Additional test like Vitamin B12, Uric Acid, Phosphorous & other antibody markers etc. would help to improve health related quality of life.
Rheumatoid arthritis improves with Diet, Medications and Physiotherapy/exercises.
Best wishes.
