Pain free

I have Rheumatoid and Psoriasis arthritis

After taking so much of Plaquenil and Sulfazine I have decided to find a non-medicine solution.

I found that alcohol would give me swells and painful joints.

It has been 2 yrs now without alcohol and I am pain free, I only took 2 fish oil tablet a day and one a day vitamin. I use ointment treatment for my Psoriasis skin rash at my angles, knees and elbows.

wow

thats is awsome i dont drink very much but hey maybe it could help to stop all together. Im still active so i cannt coplain to much although there have been a few days where it felt like i broke both of my knees. I litterally was almost puking from the pain a few night ago so im going to get the steroid injections next friday. Mobic has calmed the pain but far from aleiviating it. Ive had bad spurts with my knees al my life but not like this i figure it must be cause I had a micro on l5- s1 november 08. thanks for you comment glad your pain free

I track my eating and

I track my eating and drinking daily habits for a yr on the calendar. I put a red X mark on a bad day until I realize that my body does not like alcohol.
Pay attention to your body, your may be something else beside alcohol like my. Take care.
