When I said Arthritis I actually meant Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), where Sulfasalazine is the recommended and effective drug treatment. I don't know much about osteoarthritis (OA) so cannot comment on it.

>> But Levadopa for Parkinson’s (which I’m highly likely to get if I live long enough), and its newer analogues, may be one of the few worth the trade. Grandparents on both sides w/Parkinson’s.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Are you taking any "precautions" to (potentially) delay or mitigate the onset of Parkinson's, e.g., healthy eating, exercise, etc? Do you think knowing what you know has had an impact on how you lead your life currently (#Yolo)?

Note: I'm a researcher in an adjacent field (digital health) and so please don't take anything above as medical fact.
