Hello, tonight I am wondering how many of you have ever had to deal with arthritis. The arthritis I have in my hands and right arm is very painful. Since I do not want to put chemicals in my body, I must control it by my diet. I feel sure I can accomplish this. After all, I lowered my cholesterol and I control my type 2 diabetes with my diet, so surely I can do this also. I will start by eliminating foods that make me feel stiff or ache after I consume it. I know I must start by eliminating ice cream. I am a very picky eater, but I can, and I will do this.
