I am 63 and getting worse little by little with this disease. I have never paid much attention to my RA always been in denial about having it. I learned what a flare was on my own.

I started to fast from 7 pm to 10 or 11 am. I have found that when I fast some of my aches in my joints reduce considerably. I love to eat but once I fast for about 3 to 4 days I feel better. I do have breakfast at 10 am at 2 pm I will eat a protein and vegetable at 6 pm I eat some kind of soup. At 7 I’m done eating till next day 10 am or 11 am. I have to say I feel much better today. But that’s how by accident I found my pain level went from a 10 to a 4. BTW…I inject methotrexate once a week.
I hope you find relief soon. It’s hard to live with pain. Sending a virtual hug your way.

@Suzyq777 I agree with you ! 💯 that i have learned a Lot about our Disease. I find this forum so useful and helpful. I am so happy I stumbled across it! I'm putting you on My Team! Nice to meet you. I am a little older than you at 70.
Way to go! I tried fasting but it didn't last long. But you are right it does help.
Omg I literally have been dealing with this for months on end and I would do ANYTHING to make it go away 😭😭😭
