Do Medicines For Rheumatoid Arthritis And Fibromyalgia Cause Onset Of New Allergies?
Question: Thanks , I have recently been diagnosed with several new allergys: corn, rice, potato, several fish, shellfish, mold, hay fever, and everything that goes with corn. I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgis, neuropathy and moderate to severe pain. I had spine surgery about 6 years ago ; have 9 rods and several screws and came out with MRSA. Wondering if all that strong medicines could cause this. Do you have any books or liturature to help me with these things . With so much inflamation, it is hard to know what to put in my body.

Brief Answer:
Start physiotherapy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should split your pain medicines. Rather then taking in AM only, you should take twice daily.
So discuss this thing with your treating doctor and split the medicines in AM and PM.
Physiotherapy is also beneficial in your case.
So let me know
1. Are you having end stage rheumatoid? Are you having deformed joints?
2. Have you gone through physiotherapy?
