Thank Lisa, I’m having a bad flare up in my toe at present. I saw I posted this over a year ago. I dint realized it has been going on for so long. I do try to eat clean except for sugar. I have a terrible sweet tooth. I do feel sugar worsens my conditions. It such a battle to emanate sugar.

This inflammation in your feet & hand joints.

Avoid inflammatory foods.

Drink a lot of water.
