hi,thanx 4 the response,yeh some people do av to c a consultent but my mother never did because she was a nervious person and never liked visitin hospitals ect,however her cond was confirmed via blood test with her gp,whome them did give her inflammartory tabs 4 this,however this cond,did became worse over the years in later life causing deformerties of the joints.she sufferd a very lot of pain from thecond.however im sure if she would av met with a rheumotologist my sure the pain could av been made more bearable to cope with.
Hi Waterhog
R.A is a muscular skeletal disease, it shouldnt really affect the organs. If you think your mums organs are being effected. It would be best to have it checked out by a specialist. It may be something else. Lack of vitamins or minerals perhaps. They can do a blood test as well to check out what really going on, but i dont think the arthritis is causing it.

If you are suffering from Arthritis, I was in pain for 12 yrs.
I started taking an all natural juice that within 10 days my pain was gone, & my body could move again. All my inflammation was gone also. I would be happy to let anybody know about this product.
Hi Golden,
I would love to try out your juice recipe, any chance you can just post onto this forum so we can all view it?
Many thanks.
PS i set up a blog for arthritis sufferers. It provides general information about the condition and addresses areas of our lives that arthritis affects. Check it out. I would love to read your feedback on the blog.
Check out my blog. Let me know what you think.
