Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Hello, my name is andrea. I am in the process of researching air pressure and arthritis. Why? because in 2001 I developed psoriasis after I moved to 4500 feet from sea level. When I moved back to sea level it went away but I also had heel/arch pain that did not go away immediately. in 2004 I moved back to 4500 feet and developed psosriatic arthritis within 2 years. I am a dancer and may have over stressed my arches in the dry climate at 4500 feet but I do not know. My theory is that the low air pressure here is causing my immune system to react in this way. I can not find any studies or other info regarding this. I am a firm believer in the bodies ability to protect its self in what ever way it needs to regardless of the outcome. My Rheumy is not willing to hear this and I want to find an organization that wants to study this or is studying this. I want to move back to sea level (I love green) but I am unable to " move my disease " and treatment. 2 subjects, sorry. Have any of you moved your disease,insurance,treatment? Do any of you have any more info on studies into this phenomenon? TX Andy Quote
