Hi Suzie - I hope you feel better soon. Good luck with your healthcare. Remember to have them check your IL6 marker. If it's high, Actemra helps reduce this marker.
Mayo Clinic recommends that you look at your Diet. There is lots of Gluten hidden in products (soy sauce, barbeque sauce, and many products). It may help relieve symptoms if you reduce the amount of Gluten in your diet. The food industry is a billion dollar industry and it wll take lots to try an improve this industry.
Hugs to you....stay strong and keep being the great warrior that you are! Carolyn xxoo

Hi Christine,

about gluten: I saw my rheumy yesterday and told her what a vast improvement I made by cutting gluten out of my diet. I hope she will remember this and have her other patients try it if they have as much pain as I did.

Gluten can be found in make-up, toothpaste, mouthwash and on and on and on. Mayo is the best. My hubby would have died without Dr Murray and Dr. Barton who was doing a fellowship at the time under Dr Murray. Dr Murray is one of the foremost doctors on celiac disease in the world. My husband was not eating gluten but got very ill again. First thing out of Dr Murrays mouth was that it was going to be "something simple like Sensodyne toothpaste or Scope mouthwash that is making you so ill." He used both and no where could we find that he shouldn't use them. He was diagnosed at Northwestern Univ Hospital in Chicago and even they didn't have that info at the time which was 5 years ago.
Janice, I have a great doctor in South Elgin which is about 40 miles west of Chicago straight out 90
