My father died a year ago due to "gouty arthritis." Now, my mother is suffering a rheumatoid arthritis but with medication to prevent the attacks of such pains due to arthritis. I worry it would be hereditary! I am 36 years old, female, but my health is well at present. I just want to know more knowledge and infos what more to do to prevent such illness? At this age I started to refrain from taking foods that may cause arthritis but sometimes I can't resist...

I am so extremely sorry about your father! I do not know much about this at all but all I can suggest is to go to your doctor and ask about how to prevent this. $-MrDollars-$

My latest laboratory results revealed almost everything is normal. Only my cholesterol on borderline. I must avoid foods containing high cholesterol. My uric acid is normal. I am careful with foods rich in purine because high in purine causes arthritis.
