I don't have the same thing. But My sister does, and she started taking apple cider vingar.. Organic that you get at a health food store.. And it helped her a lot.. She says she swears by it..

Good luck and welcome to the board..

Hi, im sorry you're having all that pain. I have something similar going on with my hands right now. It's happened before, on and off, but lately it's been going on for 5 weeks without end. All my joints where the fingers meet the hands are stiff and painful, plus the joints midway up the fingers. THis is going on in both my hands, my right being worse. They do feel swollen, but don't look it. I can hardly stretch them out. Work is killing me with writing, I keep dropping things, and it's hard to open things. So I totally understand how it feels. I know I have lupus and OA in many joints, also spondylosis. BUt I'm not sure if it's lupus or OA related in my hands. I havent mentioned it to my doc yet. It is seeming that this horrid humidity we're having lately is making it worse. Have you ever noticed that?
