I am glad to hear that exercise and diet works well for you, but there are some of us that aren't so lucky. I have been through four different rheumatologists, and plenty of non-drug related therapy attempts. I even consider myself lucky that Humira has been so helpful.

I can totally understand your choices though I think we can both agree that the current drug choices are very primitive due to their systemic efficacy. There are some interesting mouse studies that are investigating methods of targeted secretion of biologic drugs using CRISPR (modified viruses?) at the site of inflammation [1]. I'm hoping these progress to human trials soon.
