I currently have Oikos Strawberry Yogurt or high protein snacks when hungry. Nuts, Sunflower Seeds are favorites over cottage cheese. Why you might ask? Well these things are easy on the stomach and full of protein. They also reward me with a weight loss in the morning! So if you have a sweet tooth try adding a little…

I'm returning once again. I'm from Sikicon Valley and have a hubby and two adult kids. Time for me to get this weight off. I'm on a high protein diet my Kidney Doctor advised me to start. It's the first couple weeks and Im down 12 pounds. I have so much to lose but it already feels better. I take in 160 cal high protein…

I've been disabled for many years and it's all by questions on paper! One or two to me and the rest was to and from my doctor! My doc is who sent me to disability so I was expecting state but it went right through to federal! I have asthma, RA, Osteo arthritis and a genetic bone problem! I was told when you have three or…

I had the injectable methotrexate! It caused a bit of nausea but that's it! Best wishes for it working for you! I'm on Enbrel injections now and I am not doing well on that at all, it's just not strong enough!

I have been fortunate to find a great protein bar that works great for my chocolate sweet treat! They are called Pure Protein Bars And they come in flavors. My favorite is the Peanut butter dipped in chocolate! 200 calories for a whole bar! But you can slice it in sections or use it as a meal replacement! I found you can…

Chauncyrenay, I had fatigue on MTX too and slept a lot! I do much better on Enbrel but if I have to rely on medicare alone that drug will go out the window! I took the MTX with shots. When I switched to Enbrel it was not a problem! I hope you get your strength back soon and the meds settle down! All of you fabulous lady…

Candy Monster, did you take Methotrexate by mouth?? I had it by injection only but it did not change my pain by itself. Maybe if they add it back along with my Enbrel I will get better relief! Also for anyone, Have you ever had all the flair in just one area of the body? My last flair was all in my neck and back! the doc…

Is there anything our there for RA that lasts a month?? Weekly shots are not fun!:noway: I hope I can find something that does not add to my weight and works too!

I'm sorry you had to change your meds away from Enbrel! It works fairly good for me if I don't miss an injection! I was on MTX and did not find relief! If my next set of labs still shows inflammation then a second med will be added!! I have to watch my salt like a hawk! My last flair made me gain 14 pounds! I lost it 2x…

I can't believe I forgot to post my introduction! My name is Donna, I'm 55! I was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago at Christmas! I am struggling to get my exercise in too! Between the Meds and the pain it just slows me down! If I would do my stretching Exercises I would feel better and then do my regular walking or arthritis…

That's wonderful news and I may try that too! I'm glad to see you have tried it and it works! The less prep we do the better we feel! I count it as exercise tho since I come away sweating!! Grin!

I bought some DVDs from the arthritis store I like! I got the Tai Chi and love that and also bought their Aerobics DVD! Both are made just for all of us with "Arthur" as the Brits call it! I also like the WII fit but I would love to get the dance routines they have? I friend was telling me about Zumba! I can follow at a…

Do not prep the same day you purchase food! Prep the following day after a good. nights rest! I divide up the meats/poultry/fish into serving sizes Then freeze in. Ziplock bags. Lable then freeze. Wash and cut up veggies to cook or eat raw and place In containers. Then go rest and write up meal ideas! Prep might take more…
