RA PSA chronic fatigue...POLL...Has anyone used this herb/ drug?

It occurred to me to take a poll on this herb.

On one of my fav medical web sites there was a pharmaceutical drug treatment comparison including many of the new systemic drugs on the market to a Chinese drug that has been around for centuries, (ya I know another one), called...
Thunder god vine extract Tripterygium wilfordii Hook

There are many links under the above search name. Many drugs have been synthesized in chemical pharmaceutical labs from nature for generations. This herb is available, not sure how pure it is as today many drugs are mixed with fillers and preservatives.

This Herb highly prized for its ability to work better than a lot of systemic drugs, cost effective and with none of the side effects of prescription drugs for RA. PSA,claims to help many types of arthritis chronic pain & fatigue. The Chinese herb medication article on a well known medical web site was impressive & interesting.

So maybe a pole on those who have used this herb or have other information that can be shared on the use of the Tripterygium w. H. can help those of us on the fence or familiar with it or experienced personal use?

Has anyone used this herb or familiar with it? If so PLZ share!

THANKX.

I haven't heard of that one and I use herbals for most everything. I will ask my herbal "guru" when
I hit it in Syracuse next week. I'm open to try most anything herbal for relief. I got lupus from my
arthritis meds and haven't taken any for a few years. Scared to death of them. I have arthritis, lupus, fibro, sciatica, scoliosis, DDD, spinal stenosis, tons of messed up discs in spine, nerve damage in legs, upside down heart, tremors, glitches in brain (haven't had medical to find out what they are), diabities and and and.
Keep smiling as it makes them wonder what you're up to.
