She has been suffering from RA for 7 yrs
My mom has been suffering from RA for 7 yrs. She has taken lots of medicine and consultated lots of doctors but no solutions. For the last 3 yrs, she has been talking dexona, aceloc 150 and vevoran SR 100 which she was getting relief earlier but now she is feeling pain in stomach periodically. And also she is not getting 100 ain relief of Ra.
I would appreciate if anyone could suggest best medicine.
She has already taken ace proxyvon, pan d capsule, saaz SD and hcqs 400 tab for 2 months but no solutions.

One thing to remember is RA is going to be there forever. She needs to take medication long-term, may be forever. Pain killers and steroids reduce pain fast but do not arrest the disease. Their prolonged use might lead to other side effects like gastritis, which she is already facing, and kidney toxicity. Disease modifying drugs take a while to act, but arrest or atleast slowdown the disease progression. Even these are not without side effects. Liver and kidney function tests should be done periodically.
Next Steps
consult orthopaedicians and rheumatologists near you, select one who you think is good and trust worthy, because you might need to visit him/her forever.

You need trust your doctor and take medicine regularly for a longer period of time. She will get relief but not for the joints which are already damaged. She is not taking proper combination of drugs. Consult personally any doctor and start treatment ASAP.
