My aunt has SLE, Inflammatory Arthritis, Bipolar disorder and RA. So I believe

I get it from here.

I have a friend who was on the gold treatments for a while. I think

they must have really helped her, as she has no deformities.

I was diagnosed almost 6 years ago with RA at 55 yrs. of age. At the same time I

also had diarrhea which turned out to be an auto immune colitis and hashimoto's

thyroid problem which is also auto immune. My youngest son was diagnosed with

type 1 diabetes at age 14. After looking through both of my families, I had an

Aunt on my Father's side that had RA and a great uncle on my Mother's side that

was diabetic. That is it throughout my families, both mine and my husbands. I do

have 3 other children and none of them have had any problems. Stress DEFIANTLY

make all my illnesses worse. I am not effected by different foods. All of these

diseases began just about 1 year after I stopped smoking.

My mother had Lupus and osteoarthritis, as did my grandmother. My Aunt.

uncle and Grandfather had hemochroatosis also and auto-immune disease. My

sister has IBS and the other sister has low thyroid. So not RA but a lot of

auto-immune.

That's very ironic, Colleen. Come to think about it, I got RA after I

stopped smoking, but it was more like 3 or 4 years after. It was also

after I had managed to lose weight! So can we conclude that RA is

caused by stopping smoking and losing weight? LOL.

Haaaaaaa. Your post cracked me up laughing. I will leave it

underneath in case someone missed it. In that case, I gained weight

and got RA. So all I have to do is lose weight and the RA will be ok.

According to alot of my family they tell me I will be better if I lose

weight haaaaaaaaaaa. I know losing weight is always better for someone

over weight. All my illness is cause by over weitht to most of my

family. haaaaaaaaaaa.

gentle hugs everyone
