Hey all! Well for the last week ive been following a low oxalate diet and doing some gentle yoga stretches and listening to an e book in bed instead of reading/watching tv (I have problems shutting my brain up at night is that common??) i swear its been helping! Ive been sleeping less fitfully and relatively pain free (or at least the most i have been in the last 6 years!) I've managed over the last 3 days to straighten my hair, keep my arms up long enough to braid my hair and have a mad half hour with my little girl(music up, singing, crazy dancing and jumping on the furniture 😯😂) it's been wonderful! I've felt like myself again for the first time in forever!! Except yesterday I forgot to do my stretches, ate nothing but junk and drank about 8 cups of coffee- by God am I paying for it today!! 😭 it's like the last few days have caught up all at once! Everything from the top of my head to my toes hurt! I feel so drained that even typing this is making me want to sleep. I guess this'll teach me to have a sod it day eh? Xx

I’m feeling pretty much the same, my fault I overdid things. I was feeling good and getting things done and really scrubbed the kitchen. Kitchen looks great I look like s*** ! What is an oxalate diet ?

Yup I know that one I'm currently curled up watching Gilmore girls and dozing with a cup of herbal tea! I found this on low oxalate diet and then googled until I found lists of foods

Don't get me wrong I don't subscribe to the thought that it will cure all that ails me but it has helped! There's a few posts on here that talk about it too if you search for it. Good luck with today and I hope you're pain eases off soon. X

good to hear that you have found something that is working for you. its amazing how making one or two changes in our lifestyle can have such a big impact on our general day to day pains/symptoms. xxx
