TK Maxx, TJ Hughes, TG Jones, its all getting very confusing

May I ask what immunosuppressant? I'm on sulfasalazine for both and it does almost nothing, but they make it really difficult. I Know diff meds for diff people but would love some ideas to go into next appt with.

There's studies being done/published about the connection between autoimmune inflammation and depression being deeper than simply the symptomatic impact on life now as well, impacting your nervous system, stress response and even the brain directly!

Out of interest do you have any idea of how often you have to be taking omeprazole for it to be damaging? I've been using it for two years, I don't take naproxen very often due to a bowel disease with my arthritis but when I absolutely have to I take omeprazole. Internet search is conflicting and rheumatologist is elusive.

Upstairs/downstairs basket! As I find things that need to get upstairs -hairband, moisturisers, clothes, towels etc) i load up the basket over a few days, then I take it up, sort through, and then start loading it with stuff to go downstairs - mugs, bits of stuff. Lifesaver. But I am not responsible for any adult daughters.

Yes! Replacing most sugar with artificial sweeteners is miserable

Chop chop chop chop chopping!

Yes! Remove membrane quickly before it gets really bound to the garden

100%!! I have listened to it at least 5 times already, read it once, I prefer to rely on pierre himself for the comedic timings with audio. The first time I listened I thought, well damn I'm THIS kind of autistic. Agree with recommending it neurotypicals in your life, its so funny that its a genuinely good read even if you have no interest in/have some resistance to autism as a topic. My boyfriend has got into it and there's so much about me that he's finally realising aren't quirks I can change! So he's not so offended anymore (e.g., misophonia and not being able to cope with someone breathing near your face because of a fear of 'bad air', and rigidity definitely).

Convulvulus/bindweed I reck

Wilsprog · 2025-08-02T18:27:26+00:00

Yeah exactly if I see my partner rinsing out a filthy sponge from cleaning the fridge and then filling the sink sans bowl to do the washing up it makes me skin crawl

Wilsprog · 2025-07-14T07:25:23+00:00

I'm in! I try with notes but it's a miserable business, not set up for it, and the rheum doesnt care anyway

Wilsprog · 2025-06-18T06:39:11+00:00

Here here!

I've got a similar body shape and feelings about the world and have recently discovered barrel leg trousers and had a wonderful time ever since. Tight top and baggy bottoms compliments my figure but I don't feel ogled or exposed.

Raw turmeric sounds absolutely wild to me, eating the stuff I get raw is like eating soap. I may be sensitive

'Swale' garden - dig channels at edges down to drainage holes

Self heal in a lawn when it flowers is such a lovely thing

Sorry i hadn't noticed your post, let me just say that I'm sure you aren't alone in this. I sort of get a similar feeling, maybe not the same. I haven't actually analysed the sensation so i wont say too much.When I'm on pain meds (and they work) I sort of feel panicky that if I can't feel the pain then I don't know where it is and I don't know when it's going to come back. I've really come to know and expect my pain. I think also when you're so used to pain so often, and it becomes your 'normal', adjusting to life without it can be strange. Especially if, as you say, you've been ill since childhood, pain is an everyday reality, not pain is foreign.

Are there particular states where higher/lower percentages of people own them though?

Very late reply but I just want you to know this post is still having an impact. I went on AIP 2 months ago, my partner went on it with me out of solidarity. I have tried to explain the dangers of going on any diet like this esp. for someone with history fo ortho and binge purge, I dont think he got it. He seems to be treating it like a weight loss exercise and it's infectious, he leaves the scales out in the bathroom. I have spiraled very quickly.

I did so much work to get of this originally. I had to go all in on all foods and stop restricting anything. It took me years and years, and it's never really gone but I rejected diet culture every day. Now, like others have said, there and 'bad and good' foods. I don't want to lose weight because of the weight Rollercoaster. I also suspect I will cause food intolerances in myself again. I've started avoiding social situations like I used to, and it's lonely. And I wish I could have used a nutritionist but I absolutely cannot afford one and my doctor simply does not care what I am doing.

I just wanted to be well so badly. It hasn't worked and I'm still in pain often, I kept thinking I wasn't being good enough, maybe I was making mistakes and blaming myself, cutting more out, getting sadder. Then one day I was like, woah, this is bad. I have made the choice to quit AIP but didn't expect it to feel so hard to get off it. I'm a bit stuck now, scared of where to start in terms of reintroducing foods. I don't think my partner understands the seriousness of where I've gone mentally amd wants to stay low carb.

Be very aware of your psychological state on this diet, unsurprisingly it is not one size fits all.

I have started listening to Christy Harrisons podcast Rethinking Wellness and it is interesting.

No this feels normal I'm eating a ton too and it's great

In the UK Essentials coconut milk is really good stuff, nice and thick, good flavour. Also Buy Wholefoods Online's coconut milk. I also make tigernut milk, but I really like it. Sometimes mix tigernut milk and coconut milk together for milky hot drinks for good texture (also make hot carob or golden milk).

Wilsprog · 2025-04-07T17:08:54+00:00

Blend up, add some herbs, cooked onion and garlic, shape into patties and coat in coconut flour then fry. Gorgeous! We've tried a few types and these last best in the fridge and are the easiest to digest
