Re: Osteoarthritis Risk Linked To Finger Length Ratio

Hey, Shirley! Don't sell yourself short.

Lower estrogen levels are associated with osteoarthritis and smaller

2D:4D finger ratios.

Hi - I think this is so interesting. I had a complete

hysterectomy in 1999 and took 2mg of Estrace for a year or so until I

had a lump show up on my breast when I'd never had troubles before. I

weaned myself off the Estrace until I was no longer taking it at all

and the lump went away.

Fast forward to today - I am sure my estrogen levels are low as I no

longer do HRT and my index finger is smaller than my ring finger. I

was originally diagnosed with OA and then the RA and FMS was added on

later. Fascinating how this has all played out over the years. Very

interesting indeed.

Thank you for all you do and all the info you

provide.....Doreen
