I believe I can help to balance my immune system though:

Satisfying activity that I'm passionate about, being around people

who love me, a meticulous whole foods diet (no junk), plenty of rest,

minimizing stressors (as able), acupuncture, Reiki, massage, fresh

air, swimming, the hot tub and steam room at the YMCA, beautiful

music and art...and a feeling of hope (which can be nurtured by

monitoring how we mentally "talk to ourselves")

Nutritional supplements are great, but avoid "immune system boosting"

ones, because, as you know, our problem is an overactive immune

system.

Hmm, all of that sounds nice, but I have no idea where I would find the time.

My day consists of waking up, catching the train, getting a big cup of coffee, trying to

make it through the day without either falling asleep, passing out when I stand up or

having an anxiety attack, catching the train at the end of the day, going home and falling asleep.

It's not the coffee - it's the job!

I've been at the same full time job for 7 years and got asthma and RA since I've

been there. I think it was brought on by stress.
