Hence confirmed by physician she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis..she takes the following medicines as prescribed omnacortil,naproxen,rantac,folvite for last 10 months... whenever she tries to skip the table she gets more swelling in wrists and ankles...her weight is 38 kg...she gets weaker as the day goes... please suggest me what can be done to keep the RA under control

You don't seem to have tried a Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drug. Steroid (omnacortil) should be last resort because of its side-effects. Physiotherapy is important.
