Autoimmune causes: Reactive arthritis (Reiter's)

Posted by rgg @rgg, Jul 17 8:56am

Autoimmune disease has a direct correlation to gut and mouth bacteria. I have taken Minocycline for years but only had damage when my old rheumatologist took me off for 5 years. Look at the Road Back Foundation website. I was in martial arts even with RA. My RA started from a bite when I was working on a 2Nd masters degree in special education.

Reactive arthritis (Reiter's) can be triggered by Chlamydia. My celiac started 14 years ago after catching H1N1 followed by an attack on my life (stress is a big trigger). Pregnancy, other viral and bacterial infections, and of course genetics also factor in on causes.
