Re: RA diet & pain

[Guest guest]

Sorry to hear you are feeling lousy today. Hope tomorrow will bring brighter

and painfree day. What is the RA diet? I am interested in anything to help. I

feel crappy today myself. I didn't realize but Cellebrex really did help but

had to discontinue it due to stomach and GI upset. I started to even get a

little IBS, I think from the drug but not sure. I am currently doing a trial of

Prednisone and hope it helps. My RA doctor started me off on a very low dose

because I was nervous about it. I thinks it 30mg the first day and taper over 6

days. Its more diagnostic to see how I respond. I am with you afraid to give

in and get on all those meds, but I have heard to treat RA aggressively to

reduce all that inflammation that actually destroys joints is the point to it.

You have to do whats right for yourself and you will know when enough is enough

and mentally prepared to look into options. Good luck.

> Hi everyone. I don't post often; however, felt the need to today. The RA diet

that I do works well, but then I feel good and slack off the diet only to flare

up! I have done two 5k's since I last posted and have signed up for a 10k - I

guess I like punishment!! Yesterday I felt great and then today I woke up in so

much pain I can't even believe it. I still am afraid to start taking any of the

RA meds, but when I feel like I do today I start to rethink my decisions. So

here I sit in pain seeing if I can just get through it and keep going, but I

suppose some day I am going to have to give in and start some type of medication

before I cripple up, which is what I am feeling like today!!! I know that there

are worse things out there, but our disease really sucks. I hope everyone is

feeling somewhat good today. Thanks for listening. Donna

Hey -

The RA diet is something that I try that came from a Holistic M.D. He believes

that by eliminating certain foods, you can see what affects you - something

called leaky gut where you have an allergic reaction to certain foods and it

causes inflammation. If you are interested in the information you can e-mail me

and I will send it to you as a word attachment. Thanks, Donna
