It took 30 years for me to figure out that I didn’t have OA nor RA I had gout! And a simple supplement took care of it. But then I asked the doctor to put me on allopurinol, which is what my dad took for gout. That help all of my inflammatory reactions of 30 years that were entirely ignored. Why? Because the best doctors in the world kept looking at the x-rays which presented with an extreme amount of osteoarthritis and tested me for rheumatoid arthritis with negative results. God only knows why they didn’t look for gout. I don’t have an answer, but I suffered terribly. There’s a great supplement. I ordered it on Amazon called ZAZZEE tart cherry capsules. It’s like 20 bucks and overnight. Inflammatory reactions stopped. 22 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I find it comes and goes if I can get into good acupuncture and then start light exercising and breathe deep like the kind of breathing you do with Yoga the fibromyalgia goes away. If you don’t keep your muscles strong then it seems to be worse so starting an exercise program that I could live with was the most important thing. Good luck.
