Ask your doctor about LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone). I have a friend who swears by it for his autoimmune disease. His doctor was not familiar with it, but looked into it and discovered he could have it mixed up at a pharmacy. It helps my friend a lot, and if you google LDN and RNP, you will see people are finding it very helpful. It doesn't have the awful side effects of prednisone, either.
