Patient discussion about pharmacotherapy.

Q. My wife suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. what is the best drug therapy? My wife suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. she was diagnosed last week and our physician told us a lot about the optional drug therapies. we understand that there are disease modifying drugs and pain killers. What is a good combination between them? are there any risk factors that we should know?

A. If your car shows you with a warning lamp that there is not enough motor oil around, it helps not that you cover the warning lamp with a sticker to have not this disturbing light in your sight. As long you don't fill up your car with the necessary quantity of motor oil, there will be sooner or later a big problem. The same is with our body. If we don't drink enough water daily, our body will send a sign of alarm in form of pain.

Q. is there any other treatment for bipolar beyond therapy and drugs that can help my brother? My only brother whom I love most is bipolar and he does not like what the medication does to him mentally, it makes him cold-blooded, is there any other treatment beyond therapy and drugs that can help him? Or is there any natural medicine?

A. I suggest you to first make sure that he has explored all the different medications available and that he's taking the correct dosage. If he's not confident with the health care professional prescribing him then find someone else. Secondly, make every effort to find a therapist he really connects with and again, if one isn't a good fit, move on to the next. I really think that a combination of the proper medication and the proper therapy is going to be your best bet.
