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.🌺🙏💜

Excellent overview of managing an unmanageable issue. I would add Volteron cream for spots that are just too sharp pain. It varies daily I fine ( (30 yrs with it - now Adult onset Muscular Dystrophy too!). It saves me!
Hard road to ‘walk’ but lucky to get here too…. Best to you both
