As for myself, I've cut out gluten, eggs, and mushrooms and have found this helpful with minimizing inflammations. Of course my right wrist is a constantly sore and inflamed a bit and I've grown now to accept it as my norm.
I'd like to explore how deep breathing, relaxation, and mindfulness can help with calming my auto immune / nervous system. Perhaps my body still thinks I'm in a threatening situation. If you know my growing up, everywhere I turned, it was unsafe. I think my body is still triggered and needs to somehow know, that I am now safe. This will take time and effort.
To reserve time to nurture and love myself is quite a difficult task for a mom, part-time accountant, part-time bookstore partner, wife, and friend. However, I do believe this is important. Being on the go go go all the time is NOT healthy!
Perhaps going to the SPA would be therapeutic! :)
There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. Medications can reduce inflammation in your joints in order to relieve pain and prevent or slow joint damage.
ReplyDeleteI believe there is a cure. How the disease was caused is unknown and like wise the cure is unknown. But what is unknown doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
