Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Leah, You need to change your diet. If you eat a lot of sweets STOP. If you drink alot of sodas STOP. Cut out all sugars and bleached flour and all chocolate. If you eat a lot of the above Items and stop them right now. You will experience some relief by your third day. You may also want to cut out green peppers and tomatoes because in some people these vegetables set their arthritis off to hurting. Also increase your intake of water to 3 quarts a day. This will lubricate the joints and help relieve the pain in the joints. I know all this works because I was RXed in my 30s with RA and I am now 50 and I am not on meds. I am on the diet I mentioned above and I take vitamins/supplements. I have no symptoms at this time of RA. But when I go on a cruise and eat a lot of the deserts..............my joints swell and I am in sooo much pain. So then i go home and get back on my diet and drink lots and lots of water and take extra vitamins/supplements that target my joints and I am back to normal in 3 days. I hope you feel better soon.
