Injections of gold salts also provided some relief, although no one really knew...

Methotrexate, a cancer drug which has been used to treat RA for 30 years, is augmented by other drugs, including the recently developed but costly "biologics" such as etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade) and anakinra (Kineret). These are genetically engineered versions of naturally occurring molecules that bind or block the activity of cytokines. Also in very early development are drugs designed to reduce the formation of the blood vessels that feed the tumor-like growth...
