It is important to control the inflammatory condition
if your ESR and CRP are elevated. Systemic inflammation can lead to permanent damage to joint,
cardiovascular and neurological systems.
Consider Mediterranean diet trial and control the disease
with your rheumatologist before seeing functional medicine practitioner. Good idea to have a cardiac risk
evaluation.

@seniormed ive had 3 heart attack, suffer from SVT and have a left ventricular hypertrophy at 25% 😭 using a biologic seems like it will open me up to every possible infection and cause other issues too. I already feel absolutely miserable and sick, adding more side effects and a lower immune system seems thw opposite of helping
