Are Herbal Supplements Effective In Treating Psoriatic Arthritis?
I have psoriatic arthtritis. I see a rheumatologist. She is great. She treats me with Humira.methotrexate,mobic 15 mg daily and prednisone as needed. My friend tellme to just try Tumeric pills. I see it has curcumin which is a cox two inhibitor. They say its natural . I am curious ,but skeptical as these herbal supplements can have serious sude effects. Do you feel tumeric is safe?
