- After being diagnosed with RA at 21, Tom started taking many different medications
- He started with Celebrex and after 4 months he added Methotrexate, which had heavy side effects
- Enbrel was also added to the mix and initially it helped with the symptoms
- After about 8 months Enbrel started to lose its effect, and switching to Orencia didn't help as well
- After having stopped Methotrexate Tom wasn't able to start again with it and began taking Rituximab
- Rituximab started working and in the meantime, Tom went on the Paddison Program
- His change in diet and lifestyle following the Program helped him reduce the side effects of the drug to a great extent
- At that time he was still taking Celebrex and prednisone, but thanks to his new diet he eventually stopped both
- He's now on his journey to recovery and progressing every day
