My rheumatologist aspirated fluid from my right knee and now
tells me it showed calcium pyrophosphate crystals which
suggests that in addition to rheumatoid and osteo arthritis
I have the above condition.
Can anyone with the same blips tell me how they manage
and cope please.

    a while ago I emailed the helplines people for info on Gout for my mother-in-law and they sent us back a very informative link to an (australian ? I think) site which I printed of for Mother-in-law. It had info on foods to avoid and tips on how to cope.

    may be worth asking them when they're on next week
    If I find the link again I'll let you have it.

    good luck

    have bumped Gout thread to top of 'Chat with helplines' page

    hope that helps a bit.
