I take the highest dose of advair and that makes a world of difference for me. It’s really amazing how much better it is now than it was when I was diagnosed. Unfortunately, when I do get bad I usually get bad really quickly. Fortunately it’s now a every other year thing, and fortunately pred mostly just makes me feel…

Things I hate to admit (journalist here):

I’ve posted this here multiple times, but it’s worth repeating;

Oh for fucks sake.

What the hell? In what world does someone think they have the right to loot a person’s home when they are sick? Let alone an indirect family member! Seriously, does he take meth?

I use to try and avoid it, then I came to my senses and realized it was better than being dead. So I now take it when needed.

“urge to remove my skin with a butter knife”

yalls stomachs is a pussy.

Also...what anti-scientific bullshit was this whole thing? Not even an attempt to show these “therapies” as just the latest, greatest separate you from your money scam that preys on people who think juice cleanses are the key to being hot til 80? Ugh.

More science in this post than the entire above article.

When my mom was doing radiation she was also on steroids and just wanted candy all the time so I bought her snickers.

And generalized “inflammation” sounds like generalized “toxins” to me. I have some periodic inflammation, but it tends to hit specific areas of my body at specific times of year. I’m also allergic to many tree pollens, super-allergic to grasses, allergic to a lot of weeds, and allergic to molds, and I live in the…

cryotherapy....helps with sleep irregularities.

Well, then, if inflammation is the worst enemy, let’s start handing out prednisone. Moon face for everyone!

Fringe is my hot trend for every Fall (also Summer, etc). My hill to die on will be fringed. I just can’t quit it.

Unless you have an actual digestive problem with what you’re eating, food is not giving you inflammation. I seriously doubt the average person has any medically significant amount of inflammation. If this diet works for you, great, but it’s seriously not curing any out-of-control inflammation.

According to Kristin Cavallari inflammation is a HUGE problem. You should totally cut out the gluten and GMO produce. It’s the #1 source of stress and weight gain. We should all listen to her, like about not vaccinating our children.

My big red list no-no’s - flour, sugar, dairy, and red meat
