    Chem, Your Mom should ask her primary care Dr. for a referral to a rheumatologist. Her treatment would depend on the type of arthritis that she may have. My husband had rheumatoid arthritis, which is very painfull. RA is an autoimmune disease and is associated with MDS and cancer.Some of the NSAIDS and other meds are associated with thrombocytopenia & leukemia as well. This is why it’s so important to have a specialist diagnose and do the prescribing. There are some wonderfull meds out there, but none without some side affects. Like your mom the RA was the most painfull part of his illness. There are some very good web sites to research. medicineworld.org
    AutoImmuneIllnesses&DegenerativeDiseases
    RHEUMA21ST.com
    I will give you the names of the meds that he was treated with and the side affects, if you are interested. Best if she would go to a specialist though. It can be a long process of trial and error. I hope that your Mom will get some relief. Take care, Ellie

    Campbell, My sincere sympathy in the loss of your husband. I’m sorry that I didn’t respond sooner but my computer has been down for a month. My son brought his to my home today so was able to read some of my old messages and the forum. I don’t expect to have mine back for another 2 weeks. My husband has been gone for 6 months now, and it is still difficult to cope without him, it’s not easy.It is comforting to know that he is at peace and is no longer suffering.
    God Bless, Ellie
