Megs
I am so glad the CD is under control for you
from what i have learned from my MIL, RA can also be "quiet" and then have flare phases.......for her that is mainly in the hot, humid summers here, tho she also feels worst when it is cold and damp, so the dampness seems to be a trigger in her case
She gets a lot of relief too from Epsom Salts sitz baths (hot tub of water with 2 cups epsom salts dissolved and a 20 minute soak)
I will post if I hear of any good websites and forums specific to RA
