Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi all, In my intro post, I mentioned I was diagnosed last week. However, I have had the same pains in my hands(mostly fingers) and right big toe for years--it just did not last as long--even though my RA tests at that time were negative until last week. My questions are: 1. Has anyone experienced swelling of the forearms, ankles, and lower feet? Mine turn reddish (as if I am holding water). My Rheumatologist says that it not the RA, yet when my RA is flaring, this is when this happens. 2. Is anyone strictly on antibiotic therapy? If so, please tell me how well you have done, what you are on, how long, etc. I have been reading about it and think I may want to try this, but do not know how my Rhuematologist will react. 3. Does anyone do Yoga and/or meditation? If so, can you please share your thoughts on how it helps (or does not help) your RA? Thanks so much for your time.
