[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2988586, member: 94154"] My arthritis got so bad, Dr has been suggesting Methotrexate, a chemo drug. I thought, before I do that, I'm not doing my part yet. Quit coffee, alcohol, all refined sugar and processed food, and have severely restricted my wheat intake. I'm going to cut back on beef and instead just eat the remaining ~40 pound of venison left in the freezer. So now it's rice, beans, rabbit food, and the occasional pork sausage or chicken. I do have a cup of cold tea each morning. So far, I'm astounded at the positive effects. Prior to doing this, my pain was what I would call an 8/10 for two days in the week. The rest of the week would be four to six on the scale. What's my 8? If you ever broke a leg or jaw, think how it felt the next day. Heck, even when I broke my L5 in my 20's, it didn't hurt this bad. Since changing my diet like that, my worst day might be a three. I've gone from taking 8-12 motrin a day to just two Motrin and two Aleve (when needed). Most days I don't take any pain meds. My hands no longer swell up, my knees don't ache, and I don't have the fog brain in the morning that used to make me reach for the coffee. If I can get my elbows to simmer down, and they are doing a lot better, I'll start doing pushups again. Another postive, my wife tells me I'm not a 24/7 absolute a-hole anymore, just a grumpy bastige once in a while. Perhaps TMI, but I never thought it would have such a positive effect. Still, I do miss coffee. [/QUOTE]
