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.
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?
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.
I see so many people on this site saying that they have less RA symptoms in the summer. If Vitamin D is the main healing factor in the sun, it seems logical that Vitamin D in the winter might give us the same result...
I have been on 50,000IU's for about a year now. Prednisone and low vitamin D messed my bones up causing osteomalacia and I have had 10 fractures in my pelvic area. I have been in and out of the… read more

I'm not sure if there's any correlation between the two or not. I called and left a message for my Rheumatologist on Friday...their office was closed. They called me back saying to reach out to… read more
Thank you Casey. This information is encouraging. Have a nice weekend.
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).
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.
Desert Rose is giving you good advise. Funny enough, Carnation Instant Breakfast is well balanced and equivalent to many other more expensive supplements if you read the labels! Only difference can… read more
