My wife's been on several different treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and each one only seems to work for about 4-6 months, then stop working. And most cost thousands of dollars per month. (Thankfully, insurance picks up the cost for us.)

So my two questions are 1) How long do they work, and 2) what is the cost per month?

I'm still on the 800 mg ibuprofen at bedtime approach for my RA. It has been a problem all my life. Flagged as RA at age 20 in grad school. I'm 67 now. Anything that suppresses the immune system e.g. methotrexate is a non-starter as I have a case of Valley Fever in remission in my lungs. The Valley Fever was a gift from riding dirt bikes in San Diego canyons as a teen.
