Hello there and Happy Valentine's Day !!!

New Wrinkle:

I have had x-rays before of my left ankle and knee that did not show
arthritis.  Ankle 3 years ago and a bone density test done then as well
that had age-appropriate "normal" results.  Knee was x-rayed about a year
ago.  Monday I had my left hip x-rayed = mild arthritis.  I am 55.  Have
been gluten-free for 3 years.  I don't know what type of arthritis at this
point.  My blood work didn't show anything so far - sed. rate was normal
each time it's been checked over the past 3 years, including this
week.  I'm pretty clueless here about hip arthritis except for what I have
read on the Internet.  My game plan is to see a rheumatologist who is very
well respected around here, but I can't get in until April.

Have I buddies on this listserv with experience with meds re: arthritis
that their Celiac bellies tolerate well?  Also I'm interested/willing to
hear about experiences with hip arthritis.  I'm feeling brave
today.  Knowledge is power.  Oh, don't we all know that one !!  I'd
appreciate the input.

Best and God bless,

Mary B.
