Have been suffering from this condition for a very long time and only recently been diagnosed a few weeks ago by a Rhumatologist. Looking for more information and support regarding this condition.

It's taken about two years to identify that I have this so things move slowly here too. I've been told to take a malaria tablet starts with P to help relieve the pain in my feet and hands. Been thinking about going to a naturopath to see if there are any alternatives. take care Giovanna
