Study Subject: 67 y/o Female retired administrator, diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 5 years ago.
Initial Visit
Subjective: Pain, inflammation and discomfort, and partial loss of all joint functions. Has been using NSAIDs since diagnosis 5 years ago. The NSAIDs only provide partial relief of symptoms. Has also been taking Fish Oils and Glucosamine supplements for 1 year with some benefit to all symptoms.
Objective: Labs showed high Uric acid, high ESR, raised C-reactive protein and low Albumin values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy showed significant protein (oxidative stress) polymerization & fibrin.
Treatment: 5 Neprinol capsules, three times daily - between meals. The subject continued existing meds and supplements.
2 Month Follow-Up Visit
Subjective: Notices a difference by slight improvement in joint function and greater relief.
Objective: Labs showed slightly improved ESR values, normal C-reactive protein, similar Uric Acid values and slightly improved (but still low) Albumin values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy showed a reduction in protein polymerization and a significant drop in fibrin.
Treatment: 5 Neprinol capsules, three times daily - between meals. The subject continued existing meds and supplements.
4 Month Follow-Up Visit
Subjective: Reports significant improvements in joint function and significant relief. Wants to try and come off NSAIDs.
Objective: Labs showed nearly normal ESR values, slightly high Uric acid values, normal C-reactive protein, & normal Albumin values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy showed slight protein polymerization and virtually no fibrin.
Treatment: 5 Neprinol capsules, three times daily - between meals. The subject continued supplements, and is starting to reduce NSAIDs.
6 Month Follow-Up Visit
Subjective: Continues to notice improvements in joint function and relief of pain and inflammation. Has been off NSAIDs for one month. Reports that quality of life has significantly improved!
Objective: Labs showed that Uric acid values are slightly high, with normal ESR, C-reactive protein and Albumin Values. Digital Video Blood Microscopy is nearly normal with very slight polymerization.
Treatment: 5 Neprinol capsules, three times daily - between meals. The subject continued supplements, and has discontinued NSAIDs.
