Hi mrsD - nice to hear from you again. I have never had any swelling of my hands feet or lips. I do notice that when I get out of the shower though that my feet are bright red. Strangely enough I had this unusual spell of diarrhea about 2 weeks ago. It lasted for about 24 hours and then just completely went away. It was totally unexplainable, like a flu but I had no other symptoms. I almost thought I could have thrown up but it was just diarrhea. I thought it was a flu or food poisoning. Do you think it could have been something different?

The only joint pain I have is in my knees and hips and it happens before a flare up. Once my other symptoms start happening the knee and hip pain goes away. That's actually why I went to a doctor in the first place way back in February - for really bad hip pain. I then went to get Physical Therapy for that. And it never helped. It happened again this time, knee and hip pain. The pain is now sort of a tickling numbness.

What do you think?
