    I'm posting this for anyone else out there who might benefit from my experience. I stopped taking multiviatmins and within a few days my joint pain subsided significantly. I still have some, but nothing like before. If RA is caused by a bacteria, I was probably being a great host. I still take vitamin C.

    CLS,

    What brand multi-vitamin were you taking?

    Kirkland (Costco) Daily Multi, it's supposed to be comparable to Centrum. I have a good diet, so I think adding a daily vitamin was just too much. I doubt it's the root of the problem. It did exacerbate it though.

    I am sure you did right to stop the vitamin.  I am suspicious though of additives in the vitamin rather than the nutrients themselves.  Centrum, for example, has red dye in it which causes problems for lots of people.

    It is best to get your nutrition through your diet.  Just tough to do consistently.

    Glad to hear you were able to identify and eliminate one of your triggers.
