Close Arthritis
Treatments
- Anti-Inflammatory Diet Working / Worked
- Have rid myself of some pain. I think this diet really helps. I still have pain, but not as much. Side effects: loss of weight which is good for people with arthritis. You just have to make sure you don't lose too much weight. It's difficult to maintain a certain amount of calories needed per day on this diet.
