What do others do about inflammation?

Inflammation is everywhere in my body. I have several autoimmune diseases, osteoarthritis, and an eye disease that is caused by inflammation.
I hurt just about every day whether it be in a few areas, or all over.
The fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis are the worst of them. As you know, joint pain, especially in the hands, fingers, and knees is not fun.
Before I had any surgeries, I did the shots. I got them in my hands, and knees.
They helped for awhile, but eventually I had surgery on my thumb, both knees were replaced, and carpal tunnel surgery.
Inflammation really doesn’t go away. I think there are some dietary changes that can be helpful.
I wish you the best.
Susan

Hi. I also have several health issues, one being dysautonomia which causes multiple symptoms. Arthritis is all over my body and the osteoarthritis in my right hip will need hip replacement soon.
My doctor stressed that I should cut way down on sugar, gluten and dairy if not totally eliminate them. She also said I should be on an anti-inflammatory diet - fresh fruits and vegetables, no preservatives or processed foods. She put me on a supplement of alpha lipoic acid as well as a couple of prescriptions. When I followed this diet I did feel better but I got sick so it's been a couple of months since we've had those meals. We are eating whatever was convenient.
Hope you feel better.
