Post arthritis and LC

I was wondering if there was anyone else on this WOE who has arthritis and what their experiences have been?

I have Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (diagnosed at 11, 22 now). My case is relatively mild (I haven't taken meds in 9 years) and it comes in goes. My worst flare ups are generally winter. My knees (the worst culprit) have basically felt better lately but I don't know if it is because it is getting warmer or because of my new WOE (been doing it one month).

It makes since to me that this WOE would help since it buffs up the immmune system and rheumatism is an autoimmune disorder. I was just wondering what other people's experiences are? Does anyone recommend any additional foods/supplements/etc. for someone who is low carbing and has arthritis?

Thanks!
