Re: Contemplating RA cause

[Guest guest]

The same goes for it running in my family too. I used

to wonder however if a door was opened when I had a

severe reaction to pennicillin called serum sickness

where all my immunties were lowered and I had hives

for about a year. I developed allergies I never had.

Slowly over the years I have lost most of the

allergies. That was in the mid seventies. Ever since

then I had RA positive tests with no symptoms until

the mid 80's. They began treating me in the mid 90's

with Plaqual, then methotrexatem and Doxycilline and

Vioxx and Lodine.
