Arthritis medicine

I am in need of aggressive arthritis medicine available here in Mexico. Appreciate any help especially proven results.

I have full body rheumatoid arthristis. It is kept under control with Ardosons (non prescription) and Adeptsique (prescription). Go see Dr. Hernandez at Chapala med.

You don't say which type of arthritis you have. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, it would help to see a rheumatologist.

I read yet another study from the U.K. which has proven that the best relief for arthritis pain is not pills, but a regimen of exercise, particularly weight lifting. It builds up muscle tissue supporting joints and also increases blood flow.

There is a rhematologist who comes to Quality Care, but that is about all I know. There sure are a lot of people who advise to stay away from Chapala Med.

I have osteo in my hands and feet. If I eat potatoes, it affects my joints the next day. The old thing about eating the nightshade family.

Dr. Daniel Briseno, gastroenterologist, Quality Care, turned me on to the low FOMAP choice of foods. It has mainly been used for irritable bowels, the foods which trigger inflammation, but has now been found to reduce arthritus inflammation. I found one of my main triggers is highly processed foods, like wheat flour. These are "fast carbs" which your body snaps all the glycogen it thinks it needs and then tells your body to throw the rest of the "slow carbs" away

Welcome to the board karjoaz. Some older people like to discuss their medical problems. At my mother,s care home, in Canada, she is 86, they have a rule at their dining room table to never discuss health. The problem here in Mexico is that the common greeting is Buenos Dias, Como esta (usted), Good Day! How are you Sir or Madam? Just bear in mind that they really don't want to know your health status, even if you are at death's door, you are say Buen, y usted. Fine, and you sir or madam?

Well they are more expensive than some of the others however there seems to be a lot of patients whenever I'm there. Ive never had a problem dealing with them. Dr. Hernandez has saved my ass a couple of times.

What is FOMAP?

I believe it is FODMAP which is a particular kind of diet.

You are right CB - FODMAP. It is not really a diet but rather a list of foods less likely to cause inflamation. It is free, and science based.
