in Introduce Yourself
I’m currently living with Relaps Remitting MS. I was diagnosed three years ago next month, and have been slowly gaining weight & have lost my motivation over the years.

I started paleo this last week, and started exercising again. Feels good to get back into it! I was hoping to meet people that might be having the same struggles with their autoimmune, and/or meet ppl that can give some good advice that they’ve learned along the way.

Thanks, and hope to chat with y’all soon! ❤️

    Diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria and idiopathic angioedema in 2000, which greatly affects my auto immune system. Tried various treatments, mostly to no avail. Daily doses of prednisone helps, but also wreaks havoc on my body. From a healthy and athletic 180 lbs to a sedentary lifestyle at 300 lbs. Finally off prednisone two years ago with Xolair injections every four weeks. Finally able to enjoy working out, playing sports without having to worry about my face and body swelling. I have started and quit so many diets due to health issues. This time I'm determined to push thru and get my life back. 28 days in, started at 295 lbs, currently 279. Calories in, calories out. and get my cardio and strength training early in the morning when my body is not swollen.


    Happy to help, give advice. I don't know everything. But, I understand.
