I recently had 3 extreme attacks of "gouty arthritis" in my wrists. I am a middle aged female and this pain was like nothing i've ever experienced. I was diagnosed with ra and when I tried to find what brings these attacks on, I get no answers really. Gout is caused by high uric acid, of which mine is low. The Dr. Says that gout and ra go hand in hand.
I am about to try arava; anyone have any imput?
Thanks
