Hello Ali,
How nice it is to hear from you! We have a lot in common, but my arthritis is much worse in my SI joints (sacroiliac), but my hands do bother me after typing a while.
I know my Costo is from arthritis, fibro, sjogren's, however when I take digestive aids and probiotics, it helps me break down my foods better, and it is much more livable. Of course my gall bladder is gone, lack of saliva is no help, and the list goes on! I thought my Chiropractor was insane when he related rib pain to digestion, especially since the bad gall bladder is gone. I was already taking probiotics, but he asked me to try these, and I am still taking them, and I notice rib pain and soreness when I don't take them!

These break down proteins, dairy, plant, and everything you could possibly eat, although I still cannot digest peppers, even with these! Please be sure to ask your Doctor before adding them to meds.
To me taking one of these provides more relief than Morphine!
So sorry to hear your daughter is showing the signs, I know the heartbreak of knowing it came from you. All of my grand kids have psoriasis, the great grand kids were born with it!
As for husbands...well, we know!
Here's some probiotic info too.

I hope that you can find some substantial relief, I know this is terrible, sometimes intractable pain.
Wishing you well,
SK
