Hi’ i’m new to this…

I’ve been researching the internet for days now and all I seem to get is conflicting information…

to sum up my position, I’ve been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and have had it for 3 years, in the first 2 years I thought there was no cure, and i hate doctors, so i never went, i managed to stay mobile for 2 years, and eat good foods, reduced sugar, salt, lots of greens, fruits.. no dairy, meat… but eventually it caught up to me… and i had to go see the doctor, because of my hands and feet..

The doctor, checked me for about 10 mins and put me on methotrexate 15mg once a week, with sulphasaline tablets once a day morning and evening… needless to say this wrecked my body within one month.. liver damage was occuring, so the dose was reduced… but i really dont see any improvement, my ESR (think doctor said that is the sedimentation rate in my blood) is still high.. so i’ve been trying anything I can think of..

then i saw the apple cider vinegar solution, only just started that.. but that’s acidic isn’t it? but apparently it forces the body to go alkaline? i’ve been on it for a week, the improvement so far has been just that my skin is incredibly soft, and all spots, acne have cleared up, my weight loss has been dramatic, which is a good thing… im back to my normal recommended weight.. and my hair is lovely again.. but im confused over whether i should take it or not… because I’m still on the meds.. I’m now down to 5mg methotrexate, once a week.. i’ve asked my doctor about diets, but he says they are all useless… and i can eat what i want. and that RA is a disease with no cure…

So I’m frustrated, as my hands hurt, and im walking like im 72, when im only 27.. does someone have RA similar to me and have a diet I can follow? I’ve increased my veg intake and fruit intake.. i drink water everyday.. I’m vegetarian.. please help… I really don’t want to take drugs anymore.. because when i read the hidden information on them, it says that drugs actually kill the body.. sorry for this confusing post.. but i’m at my wits end… and im so fed up of being patronised by everyone, and no-one seems to care.
