I have seen three rheumatologists. I have considered all three excellent physicians. Whenever I mentioned diet, it was not really discussed as having a major role in my plan of care. My PCP regularly discusses diet choices. I am a believer in a healthy diet but as healthy as I eat, I'm not convinced it's contributing greatly to my overcoming pmr or some other ailments I have.
After I discovered I have macular dystrophy not macular degeneration, my retina specialist told me I was wasting money on the eye vitamins I've been taking for years. So I just switched to what I hope is a good multi vitamin hoping it will he more beneficial.
I have always made reasonably good diet choices, never smoked, don't drink, never overweight although now I would like to lose a few lbs and yet I feel I have more than the average person's list of present/past ailments. You be you. You are you. Sometimes you can't change mother nature.
