I think that's a really good idea, it is amazing how many people have responded to that thread. My personal opinion is that it's not necessarily that nicotine *keeps* you from getting RA - just ask dreamer - but *stopping* smoking may trigger it.

That is getting desperate Then again, a lot of us *are* desperate. But I really hope you don't do it. I think it's too late anyway, we've got RA and, unless they find a cure, we're stuck with it Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
