About *Patt* Expertise i know a lot about this disease having it in my family from grandmothers, mother to sisters and children.
Experience I have lived with this disease for some twenty five years. I can offer help in dealing with this, how to know you might have it or be getting it and why. I know the pain involved, the crippliing effect and can offer suggestions for relief. I will not medicate nor talk about what you should be taking, this is for your docter. I can however follow up with you on why and what works.

A SERIES OF BLOOD WORK DOES TELL THE DOCTER WHERE TO START AT LEAST FOR FURTHER TESTS TO RUN TO PIN POINT, BUT IT SHOULD TELL MUCH ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM IF RAN PROPERLY AND THE RIGHT TESTS.
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM SHOULD BE FINE WITH THIS DISEASE. MINE IS AND I HAVE THIS BADLY, MY FINGERS ARE SO CROOKED THEY LOOK LIKE A HORROW MOVIE. HOT TUB SOAKS OF TWENTY MINUTES, IF U HAVE A HOT TUB IS GOOD FOR THIS.
SCANS, MRI'S, BLOOD WORK, BONE DENSITY TESTS, ETC TO PIN POINT THIS RIGHT ON.
WARM REGARDS

KEEP HOT SOAKS OR DO HOT TUB SOAKS, EXERCISE DAILY LIKE A NICE WALK KEEPS ONE GOING. THIS CAN CRIPPLE U DOWN SO KEEP GOING
