Has your Diet changed?
Mine has changed I must say for the better. I didn't choose its almost like my body has chose it for me. I can not stomach Beef or very much meat, Chocolate, or any dairy. I feel by not eating any of those foods has contribute to the successful results I have been noticing with AP as my treatment.
My Double Stranded DNA Antibody SSA in Aug 2008 was 109.3 Now its 48.3 SSB 4.4 in Aug now 2.7 SM 3.6 in Aug 2008 now 2.6 Rheumatoid Factor 7.79 in August 2008 now its 1.91 Inflammation 16.1 now 4.2.. So it all must be working. I have become very strict with what I eat also because of this my family is eating very healthy yay! This is what I eat in a day.
Breakfast- Ensure with fruit or sometimes dry whole wheat toast. Or Veggie sausage and toast.
Snack- Almonds or crackers
Lunch- If my husband and I go out it has to be Chicken tacos just chicken and lettuce LOL at one of my fav restaurants yummy. If not I will eat veggie soup or spinach salad..
Dinner- depends on the time.
One of my fav dish to cook is Ahi Tuna steaks with Rice and veggies..
We have dinner early so the family can eat together because of Acid Reflux I do not eat past 5pm I often skip dinner or have an ensure. I can not stand that darn acid reflux at night. My biggest meal would have to be lunch/early dinner. My body seems to crave all the good foods now... Im very picky about what I eat.
I'm still getting used to the new me somedays I'm like who is this woman? I know I will not be who I was pre- Scleroderma it has been hard and I still have my days when I don't want to get out of bed. I manage to get through the rocky moment and move for its just a little moment.. I suffer through a lot of emotions. I am not one to hide them very well LOL just ask my supportive family. They have been awesome... I love them.. I am very blessed to have great results and to be doing well and for the road I was put on I will always have Cubby to thank.... xoxox
I'm also so boggled by the Scleroderma Foundation.. I know AP is not called a cure but why is it so forbidden to talk about? If its giving back the QUALITY OF LIFE to Scleroderma victims then why not??? 'NO MONEY IN THE CURE BUT THERE IS MONEY IN THE MEDICINE"AP is one of the some what cheaper treatments eh? I deleted my account on inspire due to my messages and posts getting erased. I was passing AP Dr. info along and TRYING to answer messages as to what AP was. Did the info get to those people NO....It stresses me out so I don't even bother..I do have a myspace called Scleroderma Awareness and I have helped out so many people newly diagnosed now they are doing better on AP..
I believe that AP is the closest thing to a possible cure. If it isn't with the SF so called Research then why not promote a treatment that can give people their quality of life back without the harsh side effects??? Its just that I feel all options should be open I don't want anyone to suffer with this. A year ago I was a mess like the tin man! Now Im running around with my kids again.. So what if AP is not called a cure doesn't mean it should be ruled out either.. I have my life back and thats all that matters ...
Love and prayers to my Scleroderma Family always..... xoxoxoxoxox
