Flowers: autoimmune and arthritis are unknowns even to the medical doctors. The best sometimes you can hope for is one that pins it down and gives you the correct pallative drugs. You can help yourself with good diet and mild exercise, hot compresses on the eyes, and resting when your knee joints are bad. I use arnica gel which I get alot of relief from, which is very old-fashioned and mentioned in Little Women by Louisa May Alcott for Meg's twisted ankle from the dance they attended. And that book is over a 100 years old now. Sometimes the old remedies are the best. Keep us informed on what your doctor says and good luck.
