i've been on mtx 8 pills for several months with no obvious change in pain/swelling. i started seeing a new doc and she put me on a dairy free, gluten free diet. she also found bad bacteria and yeast in my system and put me on antibiotic and antifungal x10 days. 2 weeks later, the tendonitis in my elbow is almost completely gone. i have significant reduction of pain and swelling in my hands and feet (mainly fingers and toes). i have more energy, too.
i still suffer with brain fog and the pain in my hands and feet, but overall, i seem to be doing much better. i think the diet/meds combo is working. i'll stick to this new way of eating and hope for more positive results.
thanks for sharing, what does you doctor say about probiotics?

Nick,
The doc gave me a probiotic to take that is stronger than what I had been taking. I’ve completed taking the antibiotic and antifungal and still on the probiotic.
