Oh dear, never heard of anything like that before,how did you eat gluten?Hope you feel better soon.

Not hands, but feet. Doctor suggested it was peripheral neuropathy. It wore off after a few days. It is worth reporting to your GP though.

Have looked at your Bio and see you also have Crohns and RA. Both are auto-immune and I wonder if you have had your thyroid CORRECTLY tested - ruling out auto-immune thyroid - aka as Hashimotos.

Do you know your levels of B12 - Folate - Ferritin - VitD ? 🌻

hi i have my bloods tested every three months because i’m on methotrexate injections so if there was anything low it would show up there i’massuming

[Marz in reply to Junny123]

Do you obtain copies of your blood test results ? Do you have on-line access ?

Never assume anything ! Being in range is how they operate - but WHERE the result falls in the range is key.

Do you take any other meds or supplements ?

Yes, on occasion. Never sure if it is gluten or arthritis which I also have in my thumb joints.

I have osteoarthritis in my knees (but the x-rays say it is only early stages) It was at it's worst when I was still eating gluten. Since I was diagnosed I just get occasional flare-ups like other people with OA instead of being hardly able to walk - so I feel sure that gluten aggravates the arthritis. What I am trying to say is that I don't think it is a question of whether it is gluten or arthritis, but that it is both together - gluten making the arthritis worse.
