I have an autoimmune disease that I control with medication. When I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, like 3-4 hours, I notice that my rheumatoid arthritis is much worse the following day.

Is there any merit to the idea that the computer emits some kind of output that could be effecting my disease?

My daughter (age 6) is having problems with her urinary tract. In trying to figure out what is going on, I was given a message from a nurse that my daughter’s doc had said if she had more symptoms this weekend, to take her into the after-hours clinic and tell them he had an order on file for a blood test to check for arthritis (the nurse said specifically arthritis, pause, rheumatoid arthritis). Anyone know more about this?

Those things are being diagnosed in women younger and younger. I was curious to know if anyone thought maybe HPV could be an underlying cause no one thought of.

joint pain in any part of the body can occur with what doctors call flare ups. So far treatment is available & works most of the time but for ex. his last flare up was in his knee, took him to ER, took 4 shots of morphine to ease the pain. Regular Dr put him back on prednisone for anothr 10 days. He has so many meds its unreal.
He is also a diabetic with meds & asthma w/meds whn needed. He doesn’t smoke or drink. He also takes depression med because he is only 41 and isn’t used to sitting around and not being able to work.

Please advise.
