The big R?

I haven’t had any issues for more than 8 months. As of today, I am 5 days late for my last remaining med (humira) because I forgot. After some discussion with my doc, I am going to discontinue it for now. I would ask that you keep me in your prayers that this is actually remission. Thanks much :slight_smile:

Still going strong. Worked 80 hours since last Friday morning and the only thing that hurts is the muscle I managed to knot up in my back.

Wow, that’s great news. I’m very much the wrong side of 35 but have noticed that when I’m fatter than I am now I hurt more! Currently trying to loose about 20 lbs. How did you alter your diet?
Here’s sending you very positive thought.

I reduced my meat intake, and almost eliminated processed foods. I eat lots of yogurt, cheese, beans, rice, pasta, and fruits and veggies galore. I have meat protein about 1 out of every 5 meals. Generally keep protein under 75 grams a day. Lots of water (and coffee to be honest). Eliminated a lot of stress in my life which also led to less junk food binges.
