I am a rheumatoid arthritis patient since 4 years. I am 38 years old. I am getting pain and swelling in left hand wrist and right knee. I am taking folitrax and predmet. Please advise if there is any cure for this disease.

Classically it is a controllable disease not a curable disease. However I have seen people getting off anti rheumatic drugs without having their symptoms back. So probably it's just a matter of chance if you will be able to get low or no disease activity without drugs. Dietary methods to control disease are worth trying. Wish you luck.

There is no cure for this disease till date now. But if you have pain relief with medicines, hot fomentation and analgesics and some physiotherapy, then you may continue. If you take advise of dietitian that will be of help to you.
