@Anthony Temi inflammation is bad. I try to eat healthy. No junk food minimum processed foods. I was diagnosed in 1998 and have had 2 knee transplants and my hands are really deformed. I am on Leflunomide 10 mg and Celebrex. I usually don't eat from 6pm to 12pm daily. I'm very active in my community and am a happy person of 75 years. I do not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or weed. I am on tramacet for the pain otherwise I have moderate to severe pain. I use D3 with K2, magnesium glycinate, VC and zinc for supplements. I use EVOO, avocado oil and coconut oil for cooking. I do not eat bread except for sourdough. Otherwise i eat chicken, beef and fish and lots of veggies. Minimum fruit. I drink lots of water, herbal teas, and 1-2 cups of morning coffee. I sleep a good 7- 9 hours. I am trying my best through foods to minimize the inflammation but its got the upper hand right now. Thank you.
