Got out for a little (but much needed) ride. I stopped off at a lake just to see how the ice was coming along and I was rewarded with the "pew pew pew" of singing ice. You'll have to turnt up the volume a little to hear it -

By the way, our governor simply put the first (small) vaccine shipment in storage, because he couldn't decide who should get it. I'm not kidding. Yes, things are going great here.

Seems like they like zinc the most these days. As I said a few days ago, I am not a fan of supplements but patients are eager to do something to give them an edge. I tell them to eat lots of fruits/veggies/nuts, avoid too many carbs and processed foods, get plenty of exercise and some sun exposure but they don’t listen. Easier to get food from WaWa and a fix at the GNC

Some of those drugs, notably cyclophosphamide, are used in much lower doses for autoimmune disease when the steroids fail. Not fun.

In post #9177 you implied my ailment would end if I went into a bubble. Incorrect.

I asked both of my previous doctors if I really had to take calcium, D, and a multi-vitamin and they both said to keep taking them, so I'll ask your opinion. I eat a wide variety of food including vegetables, fruit, nuts, lean meats, etc. and it just seems wrong that I need to take a vague pill from a vague source.

That said, always be cautious about medical advice off the internet as these decisions are often nuanced and should be discussed with the doctor who knows you and your history the best.

To expand: IF we wiped out your immune system THEN you would not have autoimmune/inflammatory disease BUT you'd have to live in a bubble and probably die of cancer if an infectious disease didn't kill you first.
We know one way knock out the immune system - HIV. Kills off your CD4+ T-cells which essentially turns off the immune system, and you die of opportunistic infections.

Not all of them. I have a distant relative who moved from Saskatoon to Perth about five years ago and now she is rubbing salt in it by posting summer pics on IG.
Oh boy. This again.
Had my weekly MTX injection earlier today. #Fun

Raining here. I did some homeopathic jump rope sessions this week and at least my legs are sore.
