[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 642107, member: 100221"] [USER=30936]@anna29[/USER] I'm sorry you are suffering. I was diagnosed with mid to severe rheumatoid arthritis around the same time as diagnosed T2 diabetic. It is no coincidence that both are autoimmune diseases. The RA has given me far more trouble than diabetes but since addressing my diet and going LCHF I've dropped all my strong RA meds, including pain killers. I really do believe there is a connection with diet . My weaning myself off my meds was not intentional, but a happy by product of my improved eating. I'm virtually pain free now, and without the joint swelling, (my fingers have almost returned to normal shape and size after years of having "swan neck" ring fingers on both hands) but I recognise the symptoms you describe, especially inability to grip. I was forever dropping things, and still do drop my car keys if I have other things to carry in the same hand. Like [USER=125618]@this is too difficult two[/USER] mine has been slightly worse these past few days but is bearable. I shall have to face the music in November when I see the rheumatologist I hope you find some relief soon [/QUOTE]
