My husband decided he wanted to go vegan to see if it helped his arthritis. Wow, that was a huge lifestyle change and it dramatically improved his pain levels.

My husband decided he wanted to go vegan to see if it helped his arthritis. Wow, that was a huge lifestyle change and it dramatically improved his pain levels. He still needed a hip replacement, but recovered very quickly. For 2 months we ate meat at the surgeon's insistence and my cholesterol went up 80 points along with my weight. The arthritis in my hands got much worse too, so we are vegan again and following the Nutritarian lifestyle. My weight is dropping and my constant heartburn is gone. Looking forward to my next health checkup.

Remember, nobody can go back to the very beginning and make a brand new start, but anyone can start here and make a brand new end. There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results." Ellen

I think the meds might be helping. I'm optimistic. I have to get this straightened out.
I hope the fires are not bad there this year. We watch them on the news - very scary!!
