[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rheumatologist says to get on medicine. The earlier the better so I would not mess around and wait if it were me. I have high RA factor and swollen joints but it’s not yet RA. We are in wait and see. My doctor also told me eating sugar makes RA worse for a lot of her patients. I have reduced my sugar to almost zero. If you have a high RA factor how did your doctor determine you don’t have RA yet? If I drink wine or eat sugary foods, I wake up in pain. My understanding is that RA and other autoimmune diseases can go into remission. A supportive autoimmune diet — without sugars — can help along with any medicine a doctor says to take. My doctor is supportive of nutrition helping. For example, extra virgin olive oil contains components in ibuprofen so it’s anti-inflammatory. I incorporate two tablespoons a day. Doctor says go for it if it helps and it does. [/quote][/quote]
