The arthritis just developed in the last couple months. My skin thing is hormonal - it gets very bad around my period - and the arthritis is from my mother, who began suffering the same right around my age (and is having her hip replaced at 55). I sincerely hope it's not as bad as hers!Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-83121774155789794822007-06-22T04:27:00.000-07:002007-06-22T04:27:00.000-07:00Another possibility when you have a combination of...Another possibility when you have a combination of arthritis and a skin condition is something called 'psoriatic arthritis'. You can google for that and get some information. I know someone who has it and apparently it is often not diagnosed; physicians don't always make the connection.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get to realize your dream of study in India. I went to India on a Fulbright many years ago and studied Hindu iconography, and the whole experience changed my life (for the better, in all possible ways). I didn't become a Hindu, I just came to understand a whole lot more about life and religion and the divine than I otherwise would have done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-46184917314327393622007-06-13T12:09:00.000-07:002007-06-13T12:09:00.000-07:00Another Kate here weighing in on (and agreeing wit...Another Kate here weighing in on (and agreeing with!) the garden.

The other biggies for skin conditions are soy, dairy and certain ground nuts, although other allergies/intolerances could be the cause. <BR/><BR/>It might be worth finding a good wholistically based allergist. It will be somewhat of a process to find out what's behind what's going on, but my best guess is that it will be worth it.<BR/><BR/>May you find a solution.
