[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 881447, member: 100221"] Another little update to report on my progress and commitment to LCHF. Last week I had my half yearly check up with the rheumatologist. I was asked how long it now was since I came off all my RA drugs and relied on diet alone, and I replied that I had been drug free for over a year. The report to my GP which I was copied into says: [I]She feels very well with only occasional flares. Her feet are good and no pain or morning stiffness reported. Disease activity score 2.21. This is within the agreed target of l[B]ow/disease activity/remission[/B] Plan: She prefers to maintain the lifestyle changes to manage her arthritis rather than medication. Next review 12 months.[/I] I'm chuffed to bits with this, especially the decrease in my disease activity score, which when on nasty meds was noted to be "off the scale". Go figure! Also to have my check ups reduced to annually instead of 6 months. In simple terms, my nutritionist friend says my joints are simply now receiving the right amount of healthy fat to keep them lubricated. [/QUOTE]
