A few years ago I had reactive arthritis - what an ordeal! It too the doctors ages to figure out why my legs had swollen up and every inch of me ached but it was good to find out.
Now I've been diagnosed with Crohn's and today it just sort of clicked in my head - both are related to the immune system, both can be genetic and both can be triggered by food poisoning (which is what happened in both instances for me).
Is this just a coincidence or are they related? Can one set of the other?
