Drinking Coffee and Rheumatoid Arthritis
I was looking for something else entirely when I ran across this article about coffee drinkers being much more susceptible to developing rheumatoid arthritis … guess I need to quit drinking 4 plus cups of coffee daily and drink a lot more water … I wonder what diseases water causes? BUT … my rheumatoid factor jumped a great deal over the last 6 months or so … and my inflammation and resulting pain increased a great deal too … maybe giving up coffee is the next step in my health plan? I have been smoke free from cigarettes now for 7 weeks … I told my daughter and grandson last nite it seems really weird not to be smoking … she told me that I would adjust … and that she has already adjusted to me not smoking … my grandson agreed that he too has adjusted to me not smoking LOL
