Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Kristi, I'm sorry for your diagnoses. I hope that the rheumy soon finds a combination of medications that will help you. It was weird that when my fingers were swollen from RA, my left ring finger never did swell up. I read that gold could have a protective effect, and that of course is were I wore my gold wedding band.
