Answers:
Since you are 52, the arthritis is probably osteoarthritis, and not rheumatoid, which is usually diagnosed earlier. There was a book written by an MD (Dr. Jason Theodakis) a few years ago called "The Arthritis Cure" and the physician was profiled in People Magazine. He wrote of first hand accounts of healing people crippled with osteoarthritis by giving supplements of glucosamine and chondrointin. I would recommend you get the book (go to Ebay.com or Amazon.com) and read it over. The reason he tried it was because he had seen thoroughbred horses given injections of glucosamine and chondroitin into their joints to keep them going- and you can imagine how hard THEY work their joints. But the supplements are oral, and over the counter. I would strongly encourage you to investigate this further.
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, there are treatments available but none of them are pleasant, I'm sorry to say. They involve suppressing your immune system (since R.A. is an autoimmune disorder- the body is attacking itself) which leaves you more vulnerable to infections and colds.
Good luck to you. Keep up the good fight. I hope this answer helps you.

the only known remedy for arthritis is death
