I just pray that we get answers and most of all, a cure.

No one in my family has a history of arthritis. I'm apparently the anomaly.

I have always blamed it on stress (my sister and I have been in and out of

court for 4 years trying to settle our mother's probate, with our brother

doing everything he can to obstruct and take over.)

But I also wonder about the infection aspect. Haven't I read that there is a

suspicion that infections can trigger arthritis. Everyone I know ends ups

with sundry infections. Seems plausible to me.
