Hello. Still awaiting final final results. New to r.a. not new to illness.

It's kinda good to have an idea. Now I can focus my efforts in eating to get my inflammation down.

Hi , good luck with the blood tests and healthy eating is always good X

Thanks for the reply. Right now it's summerand all I want to do is drink and eat and socialize. In three weeks I'm going to clean up my act. But not yet. Right now I want to enjoy the sun and swim in lakes and drink my cocktails and eat camping food!

Unfortunately or indeed fortunately I am in the same place !( brilliant isn't it!)

[Hidden in reply to allanah]

Yup. But we have to live while we can, right!

In the fall we will be angels and eat only good foods😇

Nuts and berries for my winter hibernation lol

[Hidden in reply to allanah]

Sounds about right. No bake nutty balls!

[allanah in reply to Hidden]

I do like a nutty ball 😈

[Hidden in reply to allanah]

Lol. Sorry it took me a while to get back. I was camping. Suffering lots of pain now.but worth it.

sounds like my life before I cleaned up my act...food/ drink makes ALL the difference! My pain is virtually gone now...this is how I did it...I'm eating NO processed food ...no sugar, no alcohol...(well....at least waiting several days before having a drink or two), no gluten, no soy and no dairy. I'm also spicing my homemade REAL broth/ veggie soups (no bad salt , msg etc) with tumeric and take a tumeric capsule. To replace the bad salt that I'm no longer consuming from processed food I'm using just a wee bit of unprocessed Himalayan salt...I'm eating small amounts of meat with lots of greens and snacking on homemade air popcorn spiced with a bit of olive oil, italian herbs, pepper, garlic POWDER , a bit of salt...YUM!! I've also found some yummy plantein chips that are very filling and curb the snack desire! Instead of beer (gluten) I opt for non wheat vodka on the rocks with lime and pure water ...If I'm craving pasta I use rice noodles or shirataki miracle noodles...or make zucchini noodles (zoodles) It's really not so bad considering my aches and pains are gone after just a week of doing all this!!. I saw the difference immediately :))

That sounds great! Interested in a personal chef opening that just came up at.mynhouse😆

haha...I have too much baggage..two little ones I've adopted at almost 58..my other kids are 21-37..yes i'm crazy..so I've gotta be tip top health! My 21 yo is doing food prep as a mother's helper for a lady so I think there is a niche in that market for work...she goes a few times a week for 4 hours each. It IS time consuming doing all the food prep and research but I'm glad I did/am..I had pain just like yours..also hashimotos recent diagnoisis ..hoping diet cures that ALSO!

[Hidden in reply to Iamrosey2]

I believe food is medicine! Get well! How old are your little ones? My daughter is 12. Also adopted.

[Iamrosey2]

[Hidden in reply to Iamrosey2]

My baby is 12. Beautiful smart as a whip. Light of my life. Soul of my soul. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
