Hi Terry and all! I believe the best thing I have done was to get off all antibiotics until I really need them. I feel so much better and no coughing or mucus. I am struggling with RA and it is really a daily struggle. I have pains that unbearable at times and it’s worse at night. I just got my plaquenil compounded and I hope this will help. I started about a week ago so I’m waiting. Also it’s not covered by insurance which is a bit crazy. The cost is 86$ monthly. But I’m willing to do it if it works. Anyone have any information on RA meds that works please let me know. Thanks and stay safe, hugs Rita.
Hi America, For years I've followed the work of diet and lifestyle medicine John McDougall. He champions a low-fat, exclusively plant-based diet. Although I can vouch that a plant-based way of eating won't do much for osteoarthritis, McDougall's rheumatoid patients seem to get better by giving up all animal-sourced foods and getting calories from fat down to 10% or less. If you've not sought improvement down this path before it might be worth your time to try it. In the bargain, you expose yourself to the other virtues of avoiding animal protein.. Thumperguy Don
