You're right. I wasn't meaning to make light of your concerns. I guess I just wanted to try and find a little bright spot in it all. I hope that you'll have a day that's not as painful today.

Well, my problem is that I have no appetite. I know I get 'empty' but I don't actually feel hungry, and nothing looks good. So I'm a 'snacker'. I eat fresh fruit like a crazy woman, because it's easy and tasty once I start eating it. I also eat fresh veggies, uncooked, and make myself eat two handfuls of almonds (for the protein). These are givens in my daily diet. Hubby cooks, and I'll eat it, but if he doesn't, I just snack. I go through stages (well, on MTX day) where I want Cap'n Crunch cereal and nothing else! But I also eat Special K and Cheerios. Every once in a while, I get a hankering for a big juicy cheeseburger and french fries. And I'll eat sushi rolls every day if I have them!

Here's a link about the role of diet in RA:

k, honey please don't apologize. I am very happy for the ones who get a kick out of watching the numbers go down. Really, I am. Hey, might as well look at it as postive as well as negative. LOL. Many hugs friend
