Rheumatoid arthritis has to be treated with regular medicines.If there is frequent skipping then results are not good. I would suggest you to show it to rheumatologist and take regular drugs. My advice to her wil be following medicines.
1. Tablet HCQ
2. Tablet SAAZ
3. tablet methotrexate
4. tablet Medrol
