My autoimmune handling journey
Sorry for the late response
@fingers86 . I’ve been a bit busy. It's a long message but I hope it can help you as well as others.
I’m glad to hear your condition is in remission. What I’m about to share may not work for you, but this is what I personally did.
In my case, I knew I had ongoing inflammation. I had to reverse-engineer what’s happening in the body and the first step was to understand why it happened.
You need to identify your trigger, like what actually triggers it or what has triggered it in the past.
For me, it was due to a "certain" vaccinations. I know my body very well and always looked after it. Everything was fine before, and after that point I noticed clear changes ( already talked about it previously)
Knowing how the body works, many people experienced reactions after vaccination, particularly issues related to blood clot formation. Because of this, I also started taking aspirin ( which is anti inflammatory as well). We are not constantly in situations where we are losing blood, so using aspirin as a preventive measure is not necessarily a bad thing. However, you do need to be very mindful of your bleeding time. If you notice that you bruise very easily or bleed more than usual, then you need to pull back on the aspirin. I personally continue to take it as a preventive measure because I would rather keep my blood thinner and reduce the risk of clot formation. If I do bleed, I may bleed a little more, but for me the benefit outweighs the risk.
Again, you don’t have to do exactly what I did, and it may not work for you. This is not medical advice. I’m only sharing what worked for me.
I took multiple things at the same time, so I can’t say which single thing made the biggest difference. My main focus was liver support, because the liver plays a major role in detoxification. Along with the kidneys, it’s essentially your body’s filtration system, so supporting these organs was a priority.
I also identified stress as a trigger for me, so I looked into herbs that helped with stress as well as overall body support. I did blood tests first to check for deficiencies, and I also did proper food sensitivity testing, which had to be sent to the US. I eliminated the foods that were flagged.
On top of that, there are foods I know my body doesn’t tolerate well, even if they didn’t show up on testing. For example, I’m extremely intolerant to broccoli and broccolini. I’m not allergic, but my body clearly doesn’t like them, so I avoid them. Cold is another big trigger for me- my body does not tolerate cold well at all.
Inflammation is essentially the body’s way of saying that something is wrong.
To calm inflammation, I implemented multiple support systems. The supplements and therapies I used included evening primrose oil, resveratrol, boswellia, cat’s claw, devil’s claw, whole cloves, quercetin, curcumin with piperine (black pepper extract), coenzyme Q10, fish oil (for omega-3 fatty acids), glutathione with alpha-lipoic acid as intravenous drips, and vitamin E.
If glutathione isn’t an option then oral NAC can be used instead. I was desperate so I did both. I also used zinc, milk thistle, ashwagandha, nigella seed, and black sesame seed.
In your case, I would also recommend glucosamine, glycine, and chondroitin sulfate for joint support. I was additionally taking MSM and vitamin C, as vitamin C is essential and works synergistically with MSM, glutathione, and alpha-lipoic acid.
I was doing it along with tapering off predinisone.
I was also using a lot of fresh ingredients along with fermented food, lots of ginger, garlic and onion in my stir fries.
Got rid off seed oil except - Olive oil and butter.
I was also hydrating my body and started using Flouride water filter ( including shower filter)
Once my condition went into remission, I started using thymosin alpha and KPV. I still continue these as part of my maintenance phase at maintenance doses.
For joint pain specifically, if you are not injecting topically near the joint where you feel the maximum pain, then pay close attention to that area. In those cases, I would suggest injecting TB-500, BPC, and KPV. Do not buy Glow or Kloe. They must be in separate vials. You can mix them in the same syringe immediately before injecting, but do not mix them in the same vial, as they have different stability, half-lives, and pH requirements that keep them active.
Along with all of this, I also took care of my mental health, because hormones ultimately regulate almost everything in the body. I wanted my nervous system to be calm as well, so I made meditation part of my daily routine. If you don’t know how to meditate, starting with guided meditation on youtube is completely fine.
I made sure my sleep was appropriate and avoided going to bed late, because late nights disrupt your hormonal rhythm and throw everything off. Sleep quality was non-negotiable for me.
Lol now the Hippy part
I also spent time doing barefoot walks in the park behind my place or a beach while soaking up the sunshine. I would take my shoes and socks off and walk barefoot on the grass or on sand for at least half an hour. This is essentially grounding. You can also do it on the beach, or even barefoot inside your house. The idea is to discharge excess stress or energy from the body and reconnect with the earth. I would intentionally ask mother earth or thr ocean to dissolve away the tension or whatever my body doesn't need. Ask the nature to help me heal.
Finally, I practiced gratitude. I made it a habit to thank myself, thank my body and its every cell, request them to be in a harmony as I love each of them . Every night before going to bed, I kept a journal and wrote down three things I was grateful for that day. Can repeat the same thing everyday if I cant think of anything new I can think of.
All combined- physical, biochemical, and mental, this is what I did, and this is what worked for me.

strong and leaner 
it's up to you to decide whether or not you decide to take it & I'm sure all of us will still be here supporting and commenting regardless.
we've got you, just keep updating regardless and we will keep supporting you.
) but I still care for my ex and hearing bad things about him makes me hurt more. If 2 people can’t be together, doesn’t mean he is a bad person.
definitely can see all ur improvements!!!
