Thank You Kay, I am definitely in a full blown flare. Both knees, right wrist, both shoulders. I haven’t gone to Zumba class in months. Go into pool and do some work out but doesn’t take away the pain. You have found a system that works for you, that’s great, I hope I do too. Do Doctors help you or just give pills? Trying to stay away from heavy duty pills but the pain is getting to me. New RA Dr Wednesday, hope he is the one that can give me a diagnosis.

My doctor of 17 years is lovely. She does push plaquinel and methotrexate quite a bit. However, she’s always encouraged me to eat gluten-free, stay away from red meat, eat lots of salmon and sardines. She’s always encouraged me to stay away from the nightshade’s like tomatoes and eggplant. She asked me to refrain from eating processed foods and anything with sugar - that’s the hard one. She’s great with watching my labs like my SED rate, C-reactive protein, and a vectors score all of which are inflammatory markers. I hope you have a good first visit with your new doctor. Compression gloves, sleeves, and knee wraps have always been my friend with pain. I hope you feel better soon. It can be tough.🌺🙏💜
