People With Joint/muscle Pain!

Hello, I'm sure many of you are getting used to seeing my name associated with joint/muscle pain, stiffness and soreness :P . Hopefully that will soon be a memory.

QUESTION: Has anyone had joint pains and my other symptoms as well as a slightly abnormal Rheumatoid Factor and THEN became okay? As in symptoms are gone and never came back? PLEASE let me know.

Here's my story:

Apparently I have a gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease (this is suddenly in question, but that's another story) for over 4 years. I haven't been eating correctly out of ignorance and/or necessity. Fast forward, for the past almost two months I have had mild to severe joint/muscle pain, stiffness and soreness. I have been gluten and lectin free througout that time. Lately I have actually been experiencing normal hours, and almost full days without a high level of symptoms .

In Dec I got back that my Rheumatoid Factor was less than 20 (normal).

Now, having taken the test again in early January, I got back that it was 21.7, which is a weak positive.

God Bless.

Benzodiazapines can cause joint pain. It's not widely recognized to be a source of joint pain, but it is. For me the symptoms lasted months after only 14 pills.

My legs especially ached alot in the few months before finding out I had celiac. Then went away for months. THen I started getting gluttened alot in a two month period by accident and it came back. Now that I haven't had gluten. THey feel fine again. If I get gluten, then the pain in my legs comes back. It must be some kind of inflammory response for me I guess. I did go to the doctor, but started feeling better shortly after, so I didn't have anymore testing done. I think for me it is gluten and I am fine otherwise.

Do you mean Rheumatoid Factor or Sed Rate? I thought that the RF was either positive or negative, but the sed rate has a scale.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
