So the problem now is that medical treatment for Arthritis, which has made great strides (ha), all of it - is prohibited in my case.

@CharJTF I'm surprised they allow aspirin in your case. I can't touch anything NSAID, hepatotoxic (APAP). Valium? By the truckload!
@CharJTF and I imagine metabolic/chem bloodwork along with renal panels to ensure health elsewhere (liver, pancreas, etc.)
@CharJTF sounds pretty much like me now. After two hurdles: Oral surgery and a bunch of imaging to qualify bone and joint condition.

@CharJTF Monthly labs for blood health (CBC & clotting factors); Quarterly liver/renal/metabolic/chem/thyroid. MUCH happier than every week!
@CharJTF I will never know the erm, usefulness or yuckiness of Coumadin. It is at the TOP of the no, never not even list for us bloodies.
@CharJTF ah, makes sense! Yeah, I bleed spontaneously, so we don't need to add a single thing to bring it on ;-)
