@samigrace08 You may want to explore if your diet is contributing to inflammation and flare ups. I have multiple food allergies and gluten issues. I know for a lot of people with arthritis, the nightshade family causes inflammation (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant). Sugar and processed carbs also cause inflammation. I will have joint pain if I eat things that my body reacts to. You may want to consult a nutritionist or a specialist about food allergies since the wrong foods can contribute to disease. You can also do an elimination diet to test yourself and find out if foods are bothering you.
