Anyone with RA and IC?

[Lindabill]

I have had rheumatoid arthritis for many years and also Reynards. Now IC: just wondered if RA patients also have IC out there?

i have osteoarthritis.i don't know if their alike,i honestly am starting to think its something else now that i know how many things go with ic that mimic arthritis.

Ra

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, attacking the joints. Seem like IC may also be an autoimmune disease. When you have multiple diseases, it is hard to know sometimes what is what.

My mom has RA and i have IC, yes they are both autoimmune diseases and i truly believe there is a common denominator.
I only posted cause she takes the artho soft from algonot and i take the cystoprotek for the IC and both of us are seeing results. She is doing way better than she was before she started taking it. I believe it's helping her even more than the humira.
Do you take anything for the RA?

Ra

I take Asulfazine for the RA. What is cystoprotek? That is new for me.

[Tracey5399]

Cystoprotek is made by a company called Algonot, you can buy the product from the ICN or directly from Algonot. It's like a supplement, all natural and is supposed to help repair the GAG layer, like elmiron but in an all natural way.
It's about 48 bucks a bottle and could take some time to work. I have seen some positive results with it. Doesn't help everyone but it's worth a shot.

If you check out the CanLyme website (.com not org) and go to the symptoms page you will see that some of the diseases Lyme mimics are listed. It's a short list considering there are over 300 diseases it mimics and one dr. I think got it right when he said it can mimic any disease and any symptom.

Anyway, in that short list is Raynaud's, IC, and RA. Check it out.
