thanks so much for the info. I work better knowing "what is the number" I need to stay under for saturated fat. I'll work harder to see what my 24 hour sat fat number should be for me. you give so much useful information!

wow. thanks for taking the time to give me these pointers. I'm at the beginning of this significant change in my body. I thank you for everything you've written. I am currently starting the food diary as of yesterday. Today I found out that my liver is NOT autoimmune hepatitis! So that's a relief.

Pizza, already giving that up and cheeses. I only have yogurt that is dairy currently. I have to watch saturated fat too. I don't do package foods, my problem is I don't enjoy cooking. I'm working on that, trying to embrace it.

My daughter is in college, will be a senior in the fall so she relies on me less. I have been in therapy on and off for years (since 20) and currently have a great therapist! As soon as I am able to at least wiggle my toes without them hurting, I'll go back to raising my heart rate with walking a bike riding.

I have been putting myself first more and more. Being in my 50's reminds me of how important it is to get myself together and in a better place. I am inspired by your notes and the positive changes you have made.

Just 5% of the weight (and more) that I need to work off can make a difference in lessoning the joint pain. I see things in a new light now that I have had this scare with my liver.

Today is a new day. 😊

So being in remission without biologics seems unrealistic or at least that's what I understand is the only treatment for me. I've often wondered do people really live with PSA and not use medications? If this is doable, that's awesome. I just haven't seen much proof of this working for life. Wondering about this a lot. The documentary 'Life Proof' is inspiring as the guy uses diet and exercise and once little medical treatment (forgot what it is called) to beat MS.

Medication, diet and exercise are my treatment plan right now. Diet is what I'm working on now until I get out of the pain I'm experiencing. I have been told to do low inflammation dieting. I'm new to this diet. I am starting to keep a diary of how foods make me feel and if there are trigger foods for the joints and psoriasis.

Not sure yet what the treatment for PSA is going to be after this liver scare. I value your input greatly. I'm learning from everyone on here. Thanks for commenting.

Nope. Are you talking food, environment, stress? Stress, YES!

I am going through this "fatty liver" diagnosis now. Myself and my Rheumatologist is waiting for the diagnosis from the Gastroenterologist. Right now, my liver is normalized, except there are markers for autoimmune hepatitis. Crossing my fingers that I can start on a biologic again soon. I'm concerned about the damage to my joints while I wait on a diagnosis. I had the biopsy over two weeks ago. Having my life on hold stinks.
