My journey living with a chronic illness. Sjogren’s syndrome, Hashimoto’s and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

A lot of people have been trying to give me advice lately and I’m not really sure they understand my journey. While I used to be that person who gave a lot of unsolicited advice I’ve learned that it can be insulting if someone is not asking for it we never know what people have gone through Though I try not to do so, I’m sure sometimes I’m still guilty. Here is my journey living with a chronic illness. #ChronicIllness #SojournSyndrome #HashimotoThyroiditis #Vegan #plantbased

Wow, I am impressed with your ability to exercise discipline not only with your finances, but also with your diet! I'm glad that you know what works for you. We're all so different.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for being so honest and open. I have IBS and get very sick when I am stressed. I went to doctors for years and they finally said it is stressed all the time. I got on an antidepressant and changed my diet to very clean Whole Foods. I find good effects how I feel mentally. People always make comments about what I eat and how much. I have just learned to expect it. But Ofcourse I wish I was ‘normal’ but that is just not me. I have a teenager with the same issues and it feels good that I know how to help him. Lots of love for being honest, open, loving and taking care of you!!

Thank you. I’m sorry you suffer with IBS. It’s hard having a health issue. Sending love.

[@sagenozko9317]

@@CourtneyRobinson I am sorry you suffer too. I am just grateful for the conversation and love asking others not to understand but to respect and let us all do what we feel is best for us!

I meant to say I struggled through 34-40. Was in remission from 30-34 and 40-46, then mostly from 46-48ish. A wreck and the virus set into motion all that current long flare I’ve had. I was not a vegan for most of the 27 years I’ve had this. A whole food plant based low fat diet has kept me off nasty drugs, reversed many of my health issues but there is no cure for what I have.

How long were you on a whole plant based diet before you saw the results? I know someone who is dealing with Sjogren's Syndrome & is confused about all the info they are getting on diet.
