Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - Introduce yourself and meet others

My issues aren’t as complicated as yours. I am seropositive for RA and have had issues misdiagnosed as chronic Lyme’s disease so, I went untreated for 15 years until the symptoms became recognizable as RA. I am following some people who have gone into remission using WFPB protocol, cutting out oil improved my pain level. Have you looked into alternative treatment for gut health and digestive issues due to food sensitivities that cannot be detected by allergy tests and other conditions traditional medicine doesn’t cover? Also, there’s prolotherapy which regards the vagus nerve. Have you tried any of these?

Very good advice!
I have Arthritis - but it is the result of gut damage caused by Celiac Disease.
Basically, the CD related gut damage has caused a structural cascade of other organ damage.
The initial CD symptoms were triggered by a viral infection. The gut villii damage caused by eating gluten after the viral infection damaged my body’s ability to create DAO - a powerful natural anti-histamine 80% of which is produced by the gut.
This lack of DAO let to adrenal fatigue and reduced production of the anti-inflammation hormone cortisol which allowed the arthritis to affect my tendons, ligaments and joints.
Add to that an inability to absorb B12 and calcium among other important nutrients and the ability to diagnose the arthritis cause is greatly clouded.
Both CD and IBD can create similar gut damage. So testing for both should help to better understand the management processes you should develop to deal with your arthritis and any other symptoms related to any gut damage that has occurred!

Thank you so much for your response. No, I have not tried any of the therapies/food modifications you mentioned but will check them out. So glad you finally got your diagnosis and am hoping you’ve found some relief.
