Lifestyle and home remedies

By Mayo Clinic staff

Here are a few ways to help you make the most of your health if you have adult Still's disease:

  • Understand your medications. Even if you're symptom-free some days, it's important to take your medications as your doctor recommends to control inflammation. Controlling inflammation helps reduce the risk of complications.
  • Supplement your diet. If you're taking high doses of glucocorticoids, talk to your doctor about taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to help prevent osteoporosis.
  • Keep moving. While you might not feel up to a workout if your joints ache, exercising can maintain your range of motion and relieve pain and stiffness.
