From the BBc News site this morning...

Drinking alcohol can not only ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis it appears to reduce disease severity too, research suggests.

Thanks for posting this link Jo.

See now I have virtually given up drinking for obv reasons - maybe I should stock up with red wine and just enjoy myself!

Hope you are well.

Hiya Nina,

I don't drink that often, but do enjoy it when i do and I'm sure it's had a positive effect.

Only downside of reports like this are that people who are in a great deal of pain might overindulge in the alcohol, which is never a good thing.

I think depending on meds, a wee drinky now and then is a nice thing :)

I'm good ty Nina, especially now that my neighbours have gone, it's so lovely and quiet here now, no doors slamming or being kicked in, no pounding around and arguments/music.. it's bliss!!

Hope you and the family are well :)

Jo.

Hi Jo
I was going to answer this at 8 o clock this morning but needed to finish my bottle of wine firstRollEyes
when we went to a Christmas meal with the pta I had one glass of wine I managed to walk out of my shoe got home shouting at Richard I had damaged my-self and he dident care (Richard had to walk up the road to find my shoe) I was in bed most of the next day with a very bad hang-over
so I dont think the drink would do me any good
I know I am one sad person but the good news is I am one cheep dateThumpUp

I'm busy working on a cure.



They tell us something like that, and then give us drugs that we are not allowed to drink with! Mad!
