Plus to I do get Swelling in my left leg and ankle.... IS there foods I need to stay away from!! AND for the most part I stay away from salty foods ... I do have osteoarthritis , lupus and fibromyalgia too!! And border diabetes .... And I do drink my water too!!! ANYONE else going through the same thing? IF so please give me advice of what to do?

No one here can give you a medical diagnosis. Multiple conditions are best left to your medical professionals.

What has your food protocol looked like up to this point. Have you been advised to follow any particular food group elimination protocol from your doctors in the past or present. I'm asking what you've been doing up to the age of 50.

All of these things matter. Trying to be brutally strict with yourself right out of the chute because a particular age is looming on the horizon is a setup for more discouragement. You're dealing with many things at one time. Edge your way down slowly. Tiny steps for tiny feet. Don't throw everything UP against the wall to see what sticks because it's overwhelming.
