Apparently not synonyms, but RA is the only example they give of IJD, plus they say it is auto-immune. No other example comes to mind. *shrug*

True that. You could invent hundreds of names based off of the exact joints that are affected in each case. That's the default when you can't think of anything else

There's nothing wrong with it - it's good stuff - but fish oils contain much more DHA.
