I have had low grade fever and sweating for about 2 years. Starting MX, sulfasalazine, and plaquinel has reduced it. My Rhuematologist said the low grade fevers are a symptom of RA itself.

I would not take prednisone long term nor would I take anything off label for MS to replace prednisone. I would get a good treatment for RA period!

That is not a treatment I have heard of for RA. I just looked it up and it said it was for MS. I do have some additional sweating from methotrexate.
Sorry, couldn't help more.

Hello k2P I' ve never heard of Acthar gel,

Yeah, I take rituxin every 4 mos- it has scary side effects but it keeps me walking! I also do the Saltwater floats when things get crazy- not an RA drug or home remedy but it sure lets me have a few minutes of painlessness and calm. I also do Infared saunas which are amazing
