Been diagnosed with RA and my doc has me on methotrexate, folic acid and prednisone and I have no energy at all. Researching the RealizeBand but don't know how to go about getting approved for the  procedure, any help would be appreciated.

I would contact a Dr. i nthe area.  That is how I got involved and eventually approved.  Ther were requirements wiht my insurance and pre-op testing that had to be done.  The surgeons office helped get all that worked out and submitted the information for approval.  I could look on line wiht my insurance for surgeons in the area but actually talked to my PCP ad started wiht his suggestion.  He picked very well in my opinion.  Finding a surgeon you are comfortable wiht is very important.

Prednisone can cause SERIOUS weight gain. I let them give it to me only when I can't breathe and my fingernails are turning blue.
