Story

I was diagnosed with RA in 1997, several months after my second child was born. Tried quite a few different treatments over the years but could not find consistent relief! Wound up going to Dr. Sinnott, in Ida Grove, Iowa, for 4 years. He has since retired and I got recommendations to consider seeing a Nurse Practitioner in Spencer, Iowa. I did go see her and her treatment approach is very similar to Dr Sinnott’s! I’m having great results with her as well! I did the IV clindamycin followed up with 100 mg oral minocycline. I am also taking 10mg prednisone once a day! I really do feel Blessed!!
