A few good weeks…

Brushwork profile image
18 Replies

I had been suffering short term flares and morning stiffness…. I returned to my healthy eating, having lapsed for a few months - ate cake and dairy (shouldn’t be a problem- you might think). Since I returned to my healthier diet the flares etc and even the migraines have abated. It’s definitely the Tocilizumab keeping me well, but a healthy diet helps me too. It’s amazing to me just how noticeable the change is! Very annoying as my favourite things to eat are; chocolate, cheese and cake!!

Drawing, creating keeps me happy and grounded.

Great work. 👏🏻 I’m focussing on my art as a priority now as I’ve been getting too distracted. I used to be so disciplined and focused. Here’s to much more of that! I think many of us may blip over Christmas re food but hopefully get back on track in the new year!

Keep up the brushwork 🎨

It’s rubbish isn’t it. The RA gets you and in order to keep it at bay we take toxic drugs and have to monitor our diet! Thank you x

It's anything with sugar that is my nemesis, so no cakes for me either.Lovely sketches.

Great to hear. I also think that diet can help. You could try the next best things .....Vegan versions of cheese, chocolate and cake!! I have felt so much better since adopting a plant based diet.😋
