Hello, I have read your post and the comments a couple of times. I started with your recommendation of the Dr. Meyers book. I began the AIP diet two weeks ago. My ANA has doubled within the year to 1:1280 homogeneous. The doctors, including the rheumatologist, have run every marker, and they are all normal, which is good news. They gave me a generic disease name that isn't really a disease, which I can not recall. My doctor gave me Methotrexate, which I stopped after two weeks due to bleeding, and then another hydro.... something or other immunomodulator, which I am not taking. I just don't think medicine is the way to go since they do not know what I have. I am praying I can do what you did and reverse the inflammation. I have symptoms of swollen pinkie knuckle, circulation issues, some skin issues that come and go, and joint pain now and then. My question is, do you recommend any calorie restriction? More plant-based? Any other recommendations to be successful? I am determined. I am asking my doctor if HRT could be making this worse? Just not myself. Been "healthy" my entire life so finding this difficult, but not impossible. Any feed back from anyone is welcome.
