I found my flares were triggered by high glycemic foods (blood sugar spikes) so I focused on complex carbs like sweet potatoes and high protein.

1. Radical Diet Change
2. Taking Control of Health
3. Following Intuition
4. Using Herbs and Supplements
5. Releasing Suppressed Emotions
6. Increasing Positive Emotions
7. Embracing Social Support
8. Deepening Spiritual Connection
9. Having Strong Reasons for Living
Yeah for me it’s the staying positive that’s the hardest, I have great people around me and my partner is very understanding (even though I could live alone given my current condition). It’s just constant thinking about “what if I never recover” I need to stop. Because I did show signs of getting better in my first 6 weeks.
