Has Anyone Tried The AutoImmune Protocol For Their RA?

I have recently been diagnosed with RA and am taking the nutritional pathway first called the "Paleo Auto Immune Prorocol" that uses nutrition to fight the inflammation and get the body back functioning as it should. Has anyone done this ? I am feeling very hopeful but it's early days.

Newly Diagnosed With RA. Am Interested In Role Of Nutrition As Cause And/or Treatment. Anyone With Info Or Suggestions?

I was just recently diagnosed with RA -- RF negative but high anti-CCPs and history of tendinitis, etc. I'm curious about the role of nutritition in the development of RA and as a possible treatment. I have an upcoming appointment with a nutritionist/wellness doctor. I've had five low doses of methotrexate but feel worse than before I was diagnosed. Has anyone had success managing RA solely through nutrition?

Quercetin With Bromelain To Reduce C-Reactive Protein

Just wanted to share that my C-Reactive Protein, a marker for inflammation, went from 26 to 5 in two weeks after supplementing with Quercetin with Bromelain. Anything over 10 is considered high. I also feel a lot better. I highly recommend it.

Does Anyone Take Vitamin D? If So, How Much?

Will You Help Me?

Does anybody know anything about Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome or do you have the energy to look information up for me? I have it, and can't do it for myself. I also have severe RA (Stage 3).

Best Foods

My 81 year old mum has RA, she hardly eats. She is weak and in a lot of pain and discomfort. She is also depressed. She is housebound and immobile as she also has bad osteoarthritis in her knee but is not strong enough for a knee replacement.
How can I get her to eat? What are the best foods? Which protein drinks etc are safe? Soups? Where do I start? She won't see a Dr about it at the moment but needs to eat well.
