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

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.

Carolyn said: Janice - It's great that you feel better now and that your pain is less now that you cut gluten ou of your diet.  How much did it reduce your pain level?
