Oh wow. I am dreading being on any medications for RA. I have managed to stay off them. If it comes to that I will insist to on the Prism RA test. I just took the tests for autoimmune hepatitis and they were negative. According to my GI doctor I have Fatty Liver disease, what is next. I had been taking Turmeric for 6 months and loved it, hardly any pain but the GI doctor said to stop because it is bad for my liver, what medications aren’t bad for the liver. Take care my best to you.

I took it for nearly a year for autoimmune hepatitis. It did improve my liver enzymes but I didn’t observe any improvement in the RA. Made me nauseous, so I had to divide the dose. Eventually was taken off it due to low blood cell counts. I now take mycophenalate instead. My hair went curly while taking it and has stayed that way.

Hi Jeanie4! I took Imuran 100 twice a day for 6 months. I found taking it with food eased any nausea. My rheumatologist took me off of it due to low white blood cell count. It did help my joint pain, but it did make me tired. Good luck!

Thank you as always good advice. Unfortunately I cannot take Prednisone as it causes my blood pressure to skyrocket. I started a log for my self with weight, some blood work results and a picture of my hairline to monitor any hair changes. All I can do is try and see what happens.

Take care and hope you have a wonderful day!
