Hello! My mother has just returned from her doctor who has diagnosed palindromic rheumatism. She had problems with pain and reddens in her knees and hands which usually went away in a few days after taking some pain killers but then occur again in some period of time. Her doctor told here that there was no cure for her arthritis and prescribed some non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and said that the treatment of palindromic rheumatism is considered to be challenging. Why?

Hello! Many specialists disagree on the treatment that should be used in the case of palindromic rheumatism. Many of them think that the cause for palindromic rheumatism is connected with food allergy and recommend diet and antihistamines. They say that milk products, wheat, corn and especially pork may be responsible for palindromic rheumatism. Of course, there are others that don’t identify the problem as food related and treat the symptoms with anti-inflammatory drugs as usual. That is why the treatment of palindromic rheumatism is considered to be challenging.
