Hi Effo!

Welcome to our community! I had been living with less severe

symptoms of RP for a few years before I had my first intense flare in

December of this past year. I was diagnosed on the 10th of that

month and saw that web site that you are referring to. I became a

strict vegan immediately, wanting the pain to stop.

Unfortunately, even after four months of strict adherence, I found

that the diet did nothing to relieve my symptoms. What was even more

amazing, was that when I quit following the diet and began

introducing the other foods back, I had no ill effects.

I don't know if what I went through is common, but I surveyed the

folks on this site and didn't find much support for such a diet,

either. But, it could work for you and I mean that sincerely.

What has helped me the most, is sticking to my medication regime and

being patient.

This last few weeks I can honestly say that the medication level is

really making a daily difference for me. I am at 22.5 mgs. of

Methotrexate, 22.5 mgs. of the Prednisone a day and working to drop

that lower. In addition, I take Indomethacine and Colchicine.

Hang in there, the medication " fiddling " takes a while, but I hope

that you will be seeing relief from your pain, soon.

I'm glad you had such a fun night. I'm going to post a second

message about my night last night, also.

Take care!
