I have been doing extensive research on anti-inflammatory foods, etc. to help me with the pain of RA. I read about Fish Oil with the EPA in it and never really paid attention as I usually take Flax Seed oil which seems to help. I had bought a bottle of Nature Made Fish Oil capsules with 360 mg of EPA in it and I took 4 of them last night before going to bed. When I woke up this morning, I was surprised to find I had no pain in my hand. Because of the pain, I usually sleep with my hand tucked between 2 pillows as a cushion. It is afternoon now and I still have no pain. You can bet I will try it again tonight.
Today, I have eaten a green salad and a 6 oz serving of Carb Master yogurt from Fred Meyer's store. Sometimes I add some yogurt to a protein drink.
Tomorrow I go back to the health club and then I will go on my 1 mile walk. I am feeling good and will see what I weigh in another week.
Happy dieting to those out there that are doing it. We all take different paths and need to support one another..
I want to add that tonight for dinner I had 1 serving of whole wheat spaghetti with olive oil, a bit of lean hamburger, minced garlic and ginger, lemon pepper and topped with diced tomato and 1/4 c fat free cottage cheese. A very tasty meal..
