I thought I'd start with my favourite one of all time, that the medication are not toxic nor harmful.
Medications for Rheumatoid Arthritis and other autoimmune diseases include:
▪️Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
▪️Cortiocosteroids
▪️Disease Modifying Antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) - first line of defence
▪️Biologic Agents (Used as last resort)
A year after being diagnosed with RA I was prescribed Methotrexate, which a DMARD. I was advised to give up alcohol due to the impact the medication would have on my liver. I was also warned to not get pregnant otherwise the baby will be born with severe defects. The funny thing is (and I say funny because you can either cry or laugh about it, I choose the latter) the doctor gave me this advice and then preceeded to tell me that the drugs are harmless. Where is the logic!
The all medications listed above come with side-effects that can become unbearable. What they fail to tell you is that these drugs all come with the elevated risk of cancer.
Steroids are known to cause bone loss and biologic agents have been shown to cause serious infections.
If you do have RA, please speak to your doctor about ways to minimize side effects. Also weigh up the risks against benefits of each medication, because the last thing you want is for it to create complications further on down the line.

I don’t understand why the world stays so silent about the ongoing tragedy.
