Thank you Purrrrrr.I have RA in my hands and in other places I have OA as well I was diagnosed 12 or so years ago and it's never gotten any worse, in fact, it's even reversed up. I don't eat high carbs or grain though. if I do ( and it's so easy to slip) I can no longer move my hand's neck without pain etc, I stop the grain and carbs and everything loosens up again.
Hope you find something that works for you.
I’ll certainly give your dietary tips a try and see how I get on. I find it’s worse when I’m stressed, and given it’s an autoimmune response I can see why.
Thank you rainbow … I have been researching the hell out of things as per usual and I’m hoping I’ll find some relief in the future. I’m not keen on the idea of methotrexate after my husband had a terrible time on it, but never say never I guess.Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but just to offer you hope- medication can help and they have made a lot of progress with new biological treatments compared to just 10 years ago.
