Recovery from Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Once the joints have been damaged, they cannot recover. The only ‘recovery’ then would be a succesful joint replacement surgery. If no joint damage has yet occured and you go into remission (through some drug therapy), I supposed that could be considered as full recovery.

Unfortunatly RA is a terrible and nasty disease that can be slowed down, but never cured or the damage from it healed.

Recovery from Rheumatoid Arthritis

I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) about 6 years ago. We are all told that RA is incurable. For the majority of people with RA, I would argue that this IS NOT THE CASE. Why do I say this? Since my diagnosis, I have made the progress below.

Gradual sedimentation rate drop from a high of 88 to normal levels (sedimentation rate refers to general level of inflammation)
Rheumatoid factor drop from 767 to close to normal levels (rheumatoid factor is a measure of the occurrence of a specific antibody often related to RA)
Joint damage REVERSAL shown on x-ray
Return to normal physical activities (walking, jogging, swimming, etc.)
I have had great personal success against this disease (and seen evidence in others as well). I have progressed from being on disability from work only 2 months after diagnosis
to a normal, active life. This must be impossible, right? Maybe a spontaneous remission? Keep reading and decide for yourself. I want to share what has worked for myself and others. If you have an open mind, you may find some simple,but challenging solutions to this horrible problem.

Use common sense in taking any action you may take that affects your health (as I did). I’m relating my successful experience in dealing with a terrible disease in the hope that someone else will benefit. I have no financial interest in anything related to arthritis and make no money from this website. Best of luck!
