Jo, I wish I have good healthcare providers willing to perform whatever
you
wish. Kaiser primary care physicans does not provide much care, and do
least 
for insured. That is why I do research myself and have to sure what to
ask.

I do not have any swelling, bumps, nodules on palms or large joints. I had
blood test several time and found no arthristis.
