[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 2371313, member: 343949"] I'm sorry to hear about this Lucy; it seems you've been put through the wringer, and I'm sure it's not easy. That said, I've been reading your posts for a long time, and you seem strong, sensible and capable, so I do think you'll be able to get on top of this. I myself have had some quite serious inflammation pain in my ribs due to costochondritis and radial pain from a heart condition. I found significant relief from lowering my cholesterol, especially the triglycerides. My cardiologist put me on statins for a while, but took me off as he noted they were probably raising my blood sugars. Instead, I take atozet for hyperlipidemia, aspirin, and clopidogrel. Whether this is pertinent to your case, I don't know, but the opening of constricted blood vessels seemed to make a notable difference in my inflammatory issues. In dietary terms, my cardiologist specifically warns against carbohydrate and advises taking lean meat and vegetables. I take fish oil and eat a lot of oily fish too, and my inflammation has reduced alongside this diet, although I cannot say whether this is causally related- I just like fish! In any event, I wish you all the best, and I'd say you have a good chance of getting control of this: good luck! [/QUOTE]
