Hi

I've recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I'm taking methotrexate and folic acid. I've also had a few steroid interventions to try and see me through to the meds kicking in (only 3 weeks into it.) I'm a healthy, fit (albeit obviously not lol) 53 year old in a much younger skin...or so I like to believe ;-)

I do believe you are what you eat and would love any advise regarding diet etc.

Thanks, in anticipation..eating sardines on 5 seeded bread 😆

Hi

Thanks for your reply...however I don't understand most of it 😊

Is it possible to translate it into meal ideas ? I realise I'm asking a lot. I do leave a gap between evening meals and breakfast. Usually eat around 5-6pm and have a late breakfast around 10.30ish. I had heard this is when your metabolism copes better with food. I also try to drink a lot of water and consume a cup of raisins a day for their potassium ☺
