Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 <<I've been struggling with this for about ten years, and now have the chronic late stage rheumatoid trouble. I had such high hopes for relief with the weekly Enbrel shots my medico started me on about 6 weeks ago, but that brings relief by shutting down the hyper active immune system and now I'm getting other illness because lowered immunity. >> I take Source Naturals Pregnenlone. It is derived from Wild Yam extract, metabolized further it would be DHEA. It helps...I am not diagnosed, didn't want it on file with the medical records bureau (don't laugh, there IS one!). But I had the swollen joints that came and went, the stiffness in the morning and the weather fluctuations. It helps with all of that to make it bearable. I never take more than 50mg per day though, if there is a naturopath on the list perhaps they could give more insight into the proper dosage for end stage problems like you are having. It's worth a shot. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
