I was diagnosed with RA last August 2009. I believe I have had it since 2008 or so, but August is finally when I went to a doctor. Is there any literature on RA as there is on osteoporosis? I would appreciate any information. My doctor put me on a drug. I took it for six days and started getting a rash, just on my torso, strange. It looked a lot like a poison oak rash. Anyway, I continued taking the medicine for two more days and decided to stop because of the severity of the rash. I finally called my general practitioner and when I saw him he put me on Prednizone regimen for 10 days. Anyway, when I got to my RA doctor, he decided to wait for three months before I should start another medicine. Well that is next month, February, and I am afraid to start another medicine. I have been reading extensively about the drugs for RA and all of them seem to be quiet hazardous to the body. I am 59 years old, in good health, 5'7", and weigh 138 pounds. Can you give me some suggestions or books to read that I can try and come up with some ideas on what to do. I really appreciate your time.

They also recommend strontium. My main problem is trying to lessen my acidity. Connie I wonder what you think about AlgaeCal which is calcium, vitamin D and Vitamin K. They also recommend strontium.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything for your bone health... so I recommend you get started on a natural bone building plan. My comment is: Way to Go, about not taking the drug.

And you also may want to gradually increase the amount of foods that cause you problems. Last but not least, there are some organic supplements, including liquid organic supplements, that might help you get over the problems. Hi Neal,

My bone density reports have gone progressively downward for spine, and have sometimes improved for hips. I came to the saveourbones site today, as I prepare a folder of information to send to my doctor. I want to go off of the drug. The doc wants the BD reports and wants me to do another BD to compare the old BD reports to. I had just started the 1x month version at the beginning of November, which is a higher potency than the 1x week version. Since that time I have experienced nausea every day, 2 to 3 times a day or more. The information on this site is interesting, and because it is only publicizing information and not advertising supplements, it has more believability than some other sites I've been on.

I have not taken the prescription. I have reason to believe aspartame is seriously injurious to health and would not contemplate taking a daily dose of it, google aspartame for some of the information about it's history, research and people's experiences. I telephoned the manufacturer and there is no version of the drug available without aspartame, and judging by the lack of interest in my request that they consider providing one without aspartame, little likelihood that they will. I believe that they are the sole provider of this drug, at least in this country. I’d obviously be very interested to know whether there is any other source of approved strontium ranelate that does not contain aspartame because I have allergic reactions to citrates. It is incredibly disappointing when you consider that aspartame is not an active ingredient but added as a sweetener. However I am encouraged by this site to reconsider entirely whether even if I could find strontium without aspartame, I would want it. I am now interested to revisit the work I have done on diet, supplementation, exercise, relaxation, work life balance, meditation, and look at the programme suggested here. I have an issue though that is that there are many foods that I have an excema reaction to, and would not be able to include in my diet, and some that are listed here probably quite rightly as inhibiting calcium absorption that are staples in my restricted choice of foods.. ho hum.. back to the drawing board I obtained the prescription of strontium ranelate (I’m in the UK), but found that it contains 20mg aspartame in each sachet – I had not found this in the internet descriptions of the composition of the drug, except one obscure one that I found eventually.
