This post connects a lot of dots for me.
Valene... try some wheat free bread. Udis is great. It is usually frozen. I warm it on broil in the oven quickly and it is like fresh warm bread. You could eat that instead of wheat bread when u can't tolerate anything else.
I do the diet Lula Bell writes about. I do however still drink coffee.
My life revolves around doing all the things necessary to avoid being sick. Yoga, diet, acupuncture, massage, managing spoons. But it is necessary to be vigilant when faced with these autoimmune issues.
I recently found I am highly sensitive to soy. I tried that new soy vanilla milk because it has more calcium. I have osteoporosis. I just broke my foot by missing the last stair on my staircase at home.
Two weeks into almost constant migraine and being generally nonfunctional my family was alarmed. Why? They wanted to know. I have been doing relatively well for months and had not had migraines that sudden and sever in almost a year. I've had migraines but they respond to meds and ran their course. This was a horridness two weeks.
We don't dwell on the fact that I have this autoimmune issue that is in constant play w/ my every day life. You can see my history in my old post. They know I work hard to manage my health. But still they asked... "WHAT DID YOU DO"
LOL! How the heck am I to know!!! There are so many things I have to do and not do. I asked my DD to read the contents on the soy milk (I couldn't find my glasses) thinking there might be something in it because I had been using it in my coffee and my daily smoothie for about 3 weeks. She said you need to just quit this stuff if it is the only thing you have done different diet wise. I did and I looked up soy and migraine. It is a huge trigger! I have felt mostly good now for several days. I had one really amazingly great day!
Now reading all the helpful things Irish said it confirms that yes I must continue to be vigilant and hope for better days!
May all of you have better days too. YES, there will be miserable days but we have to do the best we can and accept all the days we are given better or worse!
I'm glad this thread was revived. I hope others will post more.
Love to all!
