Re: Losing hope. Please help (also posted on MH forum)

don't lose hope, sometimes we get worse before we get better.... retracing. big toe pain can sometimes be traced to gout and can be helped nutritionally...too much fluid in the cell walls. cleansing is always good. Have you thought about an anti imflammatory diet? eliminate wheat, corn and dairy. these are always a good place to start, allergies can really wreck havoc on our system. Citrus , chocolate , alchol, red meat , flour products, spices (except ginger and turmeric) and carbonated drinks may aggravate RA. some people respond well to eliminating nightshades... peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, white potatoes, mushrooms. sometimes the road back to health is hard... took us a while to get this way.... keep trying, you are on the right path...
