<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All, Thought I would post this to the list as maybe other people can relate. I have been on the diet 3 yrs. and have more joint pain in my hands than ever. Also sometimes, actually quite frequently I wake up during the night and my hands are asleep, I shake them out then they get all tingly then are ok. Sometimes the feeling extends up my arm. Also my elbows hurt in the morning and when I first get up my feet will hurt so much when I walk but it clears up by the time I get to the bottom of the stairs. I dont eat dairy at all and take no calcium supplements so dont know if thats the cause. When I was in my 40's the doc told me it was arthritis, now Im in my fifties I still dont believe its arthritis. Just relating my experience. Janet in Maine
