I've read your post Tin Woman I just bought a box of Rice Crispies yesterday - lol - do you snap too, like when you put milk on them? I don't know if it's relevant, but: My fingers seem a bit less swollen and less red (still look like Michelin). This last week I have a similar thing happening with my ankles. Each time I get up they make a noise like marbles in a bag - my joints still hurt very much though. I don't know if that means that inflammation is going down (hurts the same, but less swollen - I'm almost eating gluten free for a week and a half now, maybe that's why it's less swollen)? This weekend, husband was asking me what made that noise...   I have periods that everything cracks (neck, spine, elbows, hands, knees and ankles) - it usually means that my muscles are a bit more relaxed. I understood that you are getting more physical exercice lately, could that be the reason? For me, fascia therapy is doing good work (here's some info http://www.fasciaclinic.com/what-is-fascia-therapy/  )   Marie

I found that my healing process follows a set pattern.

As the swelling goes down,I notice an increase in pain levels and then it eases up.

This has always been followed by periods of nothing much happening and then another phase of a decrease in inflammation together with more pain.

However,this time the pattern is different,my swelling is decreasing further without the aches.....just the noises LOL.

So,Marie,try and notice if your pain levels start to abate after the inflammation has started to come down,I would be very interested to hear if you experience similar patterns.

It is all so very strange,I always say you couldn't "invent" this disease if you tried,it's so bizarre

I'll try to look for a pattern - it's interesting - I'm seeing my dr tomorrow, and he did a lot of inflammation tests - I'll ask him if there's some kind of pattern.

It's all very bizarre - all the things that made me think 'I won't tell anyone, I must be nuts' all seem to be normal now.
