baddog - just sittin' here talking with my wife in the background over this thread.
Something she says you and GG should be aware of and take into consideration:
She says that sometimes vitamin supplements such as the B7 can mask/manipulate the effects of RA while the internal joint damage is still being done. Also, some medications (especially T & F blockers/biologic drugs and DMARDS such as methotrexate) will give a false low reading for some vitamins and minerals.
Basically, even though the B7 and B12 supplements are giving her radical improvement, don't entirely rule out that the RA may still be present. Stay on top of her progress and monitor things very closely (as I'm sure you both will anyways).
But that said - I really hope its simply just the B7 deficiency and what she's doing will totally eradicate the symptoms.
