Joint Pain and Stiffness

About ten years, I started to wake up in the morning getting stiffer and stiffer, with pains in my joints. I was also very inflexible and needed at least an hour to get myself into gear.

Since then I’ve been diagnosed as a coeliac and have been gluten-free for about two years.

I no longer have the morning stiffness. I particularly noticed it this morning when I got up at four and drove a lorry down to Hampshire immediately. I couldn’t have done that five years ago. I’d have had to have two cups of tea and an hour doing something before I could drive something heavy.

Has anybody else noted the same symptoms or lack of them?
