Also my gym as this thing called a cold dip. You walk into a mini pool that goes to 5ft deep and I go walk into there and stay in there for a few minutes/seconds depending on how much I hurt.View Thread


Wednesday, I am going back to the doctor and she said she wanted to change my medicine. I want to get on something that has a generic because my insurance offers free generics but I also want it to be an aggressive medicine. Any ideas?View Thread

My doctor says to try different foods and if you notice any swelling then to stay away from it. For example, I love pineapple but lately when I have eaten it, I swell up so I keep a list of items that I have reactions to so I don't eat them.
Also - sometimes I have reactions with Raw food but once it is cooked then I don't have a problem. My doctor said to do trial and error but don't do too many items at once because it can cause false information. She said that everyone is so different which makes it hard to pinpoint which foods affect the swelling from RA.View Thread
