What do others do about inflammation?

Acceptance is part of the answer; however, I am having a difficult time accepting this is going to be my condition for the rest of my life. But I know it is. What about diet? Is there anything I should avoid? I read a Mediterreon diet is the best. Any truth to that?

My doctor who treats my dysautonomia stresses that I should stay on the anti-inflammatory diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables, no preservatives. Basically it's a Mediterrean diet. I started out sticking to it and honestly felt better but I got sick and my husband fixed whatever was easy so I've been off it and I can tell. Inflammation, fatigue, inability to control my body temperature, a "sick" that I really can't describe. When this happens I have to go to bed because I can't hold my head up. More info than you wanted, I'm sure. I hope you feel better.

Find yourself a good functional medicine doctor. Mine prescribed an anti-inflammatory diet (high alkaline/low acidic) and several supplements, as well at physical therapy. It helped a lot. You can also have IV infusion therapy, but it's expensive.
