oh that is interesting and helps to explain why I had a flare last week when the smoke from forest fires was heavy. I'll have to pay more attention to this. Thanks for sharing.

Yesss that’s why I take an antihistamine most days to help reduce the amount of histamine because histamine causes a flare

Did the study say anything about increased incidence of RA in polluted geographical areas? I’m curious if there’s a spike.

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2013. Recently I took a short course of methylprednisolone and I felt absolutely amazing after taking it. It makes me think one of my base causative conditions may be an inflammatory disease. I want to get tested for rheumatoid arthritis and other possible inflammatory conditions. What tests should I ask for? I have seen a rheumatologist once before but at the time it was believed to be OA and not RA. I think the original diagnosis might have been wrong or I could possibly have both conditions.

My allergies cause my arthritis to flare sometimes and it really kicks my fatigue in gear.

What about food contaminated with chemicals? Wouldn’t that cause these problems? That’s for-real pollution.
