How much folic acid and b-12 supplement is recommended for a person suffering from RA??
Also, does the drug Cerefolin NAC help those with RA?
I too was diagnosed with RA last year, Have made tough diet changes, lost weight, take many herbal supplements, and sulphasalazine refused methotextrate didnt like the side effects. I am now able to reduce my pain meds to 1 every 2 days and my blood work is impressive (my Rheumos words) so if you are feeling unwell my advise is to be in charge of your own illness and investigate other options. My biggest improvement came when I gave up all dairy regards Caroline
Dear Lynny,
Methotrexate is a type of DMRD(Disease modifying drug) and hence is a very strong medicine. Good healthy diet is a necessity for this medicine.Beside Iron levels, we need to check the Folic acid levels and Vit B12 levels, as it's known to decrease these levels also.
So would request you to have Vit B-12 and 0.5mg of Folic acid also , daily in your diet.
Rest all things look normal in you case.
All the best.
Regards..
