I have RA and my hands are hot when I'm flaring. This is how my husband knows when I am in a flare, and he always tells me too...
Hi and yes I sure did. A couple of weeks after, I was leaving work and I had weird shooting pains in my knees, and put up with it for a few days, finally went to my pcp with the complaints. He ran...
Glad to hear you are hanging in there! Maybe they can just fill the tooth without a root canal?! Thats a pretty strong pain medication so I doubt you are feeling any pain from your tooth:) But at the...

I'm on Enbrel and no I've never had such an improvement either time. Are you talking about a Medrol dose pack? Where you start out taking 6 pills, then 5, then 4 until you are down to one pill on the...
I'm so sorry, I've never heard of such a thing! I hope it isn't painful to have taken care of and all goes well, good luck and I hope you feel better soon!...
By the way weary..something came to mind on the feet..I remembered that my rhuemy seems to like the summer months, when patients tend to wear flip flops, and sandals, it gives him an opportunity to...
Oh Weary, your rheumy sounds like a nightmare! I'm not really too sure what a *bunion* is, but I have those awful bony protrusions on my feet, maybe they are bunions! down near my big toes and they...
I have not tried the no gluten route, but do know someone who must refrain from all gluten products, it is endless (Celiac disease) and I'm just not sure if I buy into the gluten...
Thank you Chartreux! Yes, you are very correct about allergies! I will let you know what happens, and thank you so much for your care and concern:)...
