That’s in autoimmune diseases in general. So in RA you’ve got auto-antibodies against antigens that can be found in your joints. So basically there is an inflammatory trigger in your own body that keeps on reinforcing the production of these antibodies. In PsA autoantibodies don’t play a a big role in the formation of arthritis.

I would doubt it being osteoarthritis as that presents in older age only and is not really reversible.

Yeah there are some autoimmune conditions that remit completely (especially in youth) or come in attacks in random intervals. There is some evidence that meat can exacerbate inflammation, so maybe that helped in your case. I’m glad yours went away!
