Hi Beegs,
Bless everyone involved for your great sounding scope. It is not common for such a change in scope findings, so you must be having some success with your natural treatment.
I believe that I read a previous post of yours, a week or two ago, where you listed all the things you were taking to try to control your condition.
If you are sure that nothing in that list is causing you any pain and the cost is not breaking the bank then you should be congratulated for your efforts.
Did you know that symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can be found in those who are suffering from almost any untreated infection? You might want to ask your doctor if any of your pain symptoms are related to those associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Soreness in various joints when you wake up and stiffeness that does improve as you move around, swelling of the fingers at the joints closest to the hand, deformity of the fingers in advanced cases, heat, reddness etc. Similar symptoms in both hands, wrists, feet, or ankles at the same time indicates a systemic problem and not a localized problem like an injury.
The diaphragm spasms are not related to RA so keep that in mind.
Bye for now... Ron
