If u look up dr brown's theory it's something that can be killed with doxy. I've heard ivermectin is good too and has anti inflammatory properties. I can't talk any doctors into prescribing it for me. Im sure it's different for everyone. Just cuz it helped me doesn't mean it'll help anyone else. But since it made a big difference for me I always like to share my experience.

Interesting....soo its bugs.etc..I always thought so..

I take HCQ and prednisone for flares. I got put on MTX but my liver didn't like it. I was supposed to go on Humira but got bit by a tick and put on doxycycline and by the grace of God that cured by RA about 85%! My rheumatologist put me on it for 30 days and I went for my check up with my pcp and told him I was feeling better so he kept on it a total of 90 days. I had Lyme in 2011 so idk it that had any part in me developing RA. I got RA a couple weeks after having Covid so something triggered it. Im not one to take meds so I am happy. The HCQ gives me no side effects and prednisone is wonderful used sparingly for flares. There was a dr in the 50s (i think) who used to cure RA with doxy. He wrote a book called the road back his name was dr brown. I have a friend who was on Humira and is doing great so I guess everyone has to find what works best for them and what they are comfortable using.
