Decaf Coffee and RA - study of women

[Guest guest]

Well this beats all. Here I was patting myself on the back for

having switched to decaf. Good thing I drink a lot of tea too. Good

god - why don't they just wipe out everything?

I think the last paragraph is a bit far fetched.

Thanks Mark for posting this. AT LAST! Something that justifies (sort

of) my coffee drinking. I definitely prefer the real thing to decaf --

although for a while there I was drinking decaf, thinking it was a good

thing to do. I'm pretty sure that it preceded the official diagnosis of

PA, but I don't know that I drank it on a regular-enough basis to say

that it was a tie-in. Probably with the PA, it wasn't ... I'd had enough

of the other symptoms (nail changes, etc.) to indicate that PA was

probably in my future (had I but known....not that I could have done

anything about it.)
