My Mom had terrible tendinitis in her hands for years, and finally when she tried atkins with me it went away. Then afterwards when she ate gluten it came back, and she figured it out! She's been gluten free for a few years now, and is feeling much better, although we both have degrees of CFS, which I mention because it means you see alot of doctors over time - we've come to the conclusion that most doctors (our family Doctor is wonderful but doesn't know what to do about CFS) either think you're a hypochondriac because they can't find anything wrong with you that is obvious like a tumour; or they put you on heaps of medication for symptoms, not helping you heal. Like when my dr. put me on reductil and thyroid hormone when my levels were normal, because I was gaining weight while doing weight watchers perfectly.

Gee I've rambled a bit, sorry
