I' ve been living with autoimmune diseases all my life. I read widely in all places, including medical journals. I belong to several groups including this one and have changed many things. When you are 89 years old and have 7 chronic diseases which are suddenly all present after years of working to quiet them reasonably successfully, the way back is all uphill and not easy or fast. I was doing reasonably well until the Covid vaccine despite my age and illnesses, and now the trip to health is starting over again 30 years later . I appreciate your suggestion and will look up the Dr. Wahl's protocol. I am off dairy and gluten and most grains, etc. for years, and follow a preserve kidney diet to some degree, because of double chronic kidney infections. With a suppressed immune system on the one hand, and an attacking immune system on the other hand, the post covid vax stuff is much more complicated. As helpless as I am now, following a protocol rigidly is difficult because I am bedridden. With a recent vertigo attack that lasted weeks, I am not strong or driving since then, and new progress was erased. The vertigo was a direct result of taking new supplements that activated more autoimmune antibodies. Will check out Terri Wahl soon and thank you for the suggestion.

@gillysmom You have certainly had a difficult time with multiple chronic diseases! And now even more so, what with being bedridden. Are you able to be up and about at all? Do you have someone caring for you?
What is most bothering you right now?
