Subject: Iceland calling

Hi there
I just wanted to share with you some of my life. I have had RA for so many years but the last 18 months it has been too bad. I had to stop work and could not do anything and I mean anything After trying steroid and more I finely went on Remicade and Iām happy. I can drive my car, go shopping, put my clothes on and etc. I still cant go to work and I have stopped think about it as I have so much I want to stitch and read. I go out for a walk every day, but need to have crutch with me and I just call it Thomas for fun. I cant bent my left knee and have to have of it change in Sept. But Iām happy !
I look well after what Iām eating and Iām trying to learn more about what not to eat.

Hiya Kirstin, Nice to hear from you, It sounds like you are trying to manage with the RA as best as you can like most of us.I am 53 and only recently diagnosed with RA.
I am very interested in what to eat and what not to eat.
I was advised to keep a diary of my foods and also how I feel each day, then if a flare up happens there may be a connection with a certain food, and I can take it out of my diet.
Maybe that could help you.
Stay in Touch
