Diabetes And Arthritis

Question

Hi:

Just came yesterday from the doctor who diagnosed me with arthritis. I'm a AO service connected with diabetes type 1, NP in both hands and legs. No family related with arthritis or diabetes. Does the arthritis has to be with my diabetes?

If you are AO it could be from high PCBs in your system. I would ask for a blood or pee test to see if it high. If so then its more likely from the high PCBs. You would need a Nexus for this unless the type of arthritis you have is on the list for AO exposure.
