Guest guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hello The symptoms of RA developed for me last autumn - unexplained pain in right hand from wrist to middle finger, and by December all swollen and bad pains in both hands. Crushing fatigue. Have seen uninterested rheumatologist who, after negative blood tests and xrays showing deformations told me I had arthritis! Three courses of cortisone made me feel better till they ended and it all started again. I have two friends with RA who seem to be getting worse despite medications - or are replacing one problem with another. A friend alerted me to ldn and I studied it on the internet. Beginning April I went on restricted diet - no animal fats which for me meant no cheese or eggs, no bread. I take Vit E 400 and fish oil and from the start had less pain, less swelling. I began to feel a lot better. I began ldn on 22 April. The balls of my feet are less tender, also the joint of my big toe, left foot. I'm more or less without pain. I feel relaxed - I feel as if I'm " convalescing " . It's early days - are there others with Ra who are following a similar treatment? yours Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
