My wife has moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.on few medications for ra. but can't take any nsaids at all. she is allergic to all nsaids(rash n swell) all including the new nsaids celebrex. i hate 4 her to be on norco for life.any suggestions?

AERD: Your poor wife, sounds miserable. I wonder if she has Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) aka NSAIDS sensitivity? See an Allergist to determine if she would be a candidate for DESENSITIZATION

Diet: I know this might not fall under the realm of traditional medicine, but I have seen rather dramatic changes in patients who undergo a change to a vegan diet. There are some that believe that dairy products in particular can cause chronic inflammation that can worsen arthritis. Two good resources are- the china study and forks over knives.
