[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 561418"] Nancy, I am glad you are feeling better to some extent and I agree with all you said about the cost....There are other forms of inflammatory arthritis that are not rheumatoid arthritis. I have a form called unspecified spondlyarthropothy....now I have had a variety of weird inflammations (particularly in my eyes) and then weird arthritis in my toes etc. Luckily for me my primary care doctor is also a rhemotolgoist and so he eventually diagnosed me and after looking into it makes perfect sense.... anyway it is a disease that is pretty serious in men (affects the spine in particular) but often presents less severely in women. People who have it often have a gene marker called HLA-B27 (or something like that) which can be tested for by a blood test. One of the things that is pretty interesting is that there are some theories that starchy foods can cause flare ups... not just gluten but all starchy foods. Anyway of course we cant diagnose anything on this website but it is one of those weird forms of arthritis that no tmany people know about. TL [/QUOTE]
