I ave a friend who is asking about treatment for RA. It has been recommended she try Simponi but once she retires her out of pocket cost is 1800 a per month. Are there any trials or options that she could try. She has done the Methotrexate in the past and emberol for the past 9 years. I m a nrse and suggested Remicade, s there anything better,or any trials she could get into, shes relatively young

Summarized question: Is there a permanent treatment for rheumatoid arthritis?
