Hello Carla
Sounds like we have some common health issues. I have been on about every drug ever made and Rituxin has been the answer to my RA. Unfortunately it was not available 30 years ago as most of my meds are now treatment for the degeneration.
I found your site in a search of Buzz Burkhead. I have some questions and would like to communicate by email if you have time.
Best of luck and hope to you on fighting this disease.
Have you looked into MTHFR? So sorry for what you are going though! My sister also has RA – very bad case.
