Rheumatoid Arthritis and weight loss?

At the age of 20, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and ever since then I have gain probably 60lbs due to the fact that everyday I hurt and it mostly effects my feet and ankles, so it’s hard to sometimes walk. Is there anything out there (medication, diet pills, or exercises, ) that will help me?

Thank you!

You need to talk with your doctor about taking some medication to control your RA,this way your RA will be under control(possible remission) and also the pain will be under control as well.Well,the pain will be much more under control and it will make it more easy for you to be able to walk,clean,shower,cook,ect..I suffer from lupus (SLE) which my disease can cause RA,but I do have a degenerative aropothy in my joints which cause me soooo much pain.I suggest you talk to your doctor(specialist) and see what he/she can do for you.A very effective medication for RA is called ‘PLAQUENIL’ this works very well for RA and other auto-immune diseases.Feel better..:)

    One of the most powerful diet pills on the market is the Acai Berry. It has amazing vitamins and anti-oxidents and is even considered a super food. It is so amazing that it has been featured on Oprah and 60 minutes. When used in conjunction with the proper diet and exercise, people have lost over 40lbs in a matter of weeks.
