My mother was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 5 years ago. She is currently taking Methotrexate 25 mg weekly, Saaz D twice daily, and Prednisone 2.5 mg daily. Despite this treatment, she continues to experience joint pain and inflammation, which shifts from one joint to another, sometimes elbows, then shoulders, knees, or ankles. Whenever she stops steroids, her symptoms worsen. A friend suggested that homoeopathy might help control inflammation and give good results. Could you please advise if homoeopathy is effective for her condition?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that usually requires long-term treatment with medicines like methotrexate and other DMARDs to control inflammation and prevent joint damage. Homoeopathy has no strong scientific evidence to control RA inflammation or stop disease progression. Since your mother still has active symptoms and worsens on stopping steroids, she may need a treatment adjustment (dose change, adding another DMARD, or considering biologic therapy) under a rheumatologist?s guidance. It?s best to consult her specialist rather than replacing her current medicines with homeopathy.
