As it stands my Dad ( having come from Ireland) is not the parent I seem to have inherited my Sjogrens/lupus/ Raynauds from but my mom who has been here a few generations!I also share the small viens though- I had a large blood clot( DVT) during my second pregnancy requiring daily injections of heparin for four months. Not fun!All due to my " teeny veins". Be well and good luck with the coffee!cargillwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948839908080737239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859627870537336161.post-33964642697160411132012-03-29T18:46:23.296-04:002012-03-29T18:46:23.296-04:00Yes, for the Hashimoto's. We're trying to...Yes, for the Hashimoto's. We're trying to get my immune system settled down so we can begin to manage the disease. I'm actually ok with most of the dietary changes, but COFFEE???? Oh my. And I was very overwhelmed and frustrated last night. Feeling better today. And you're right, having something hot in the morning is the thing. I'll figure it out :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450443439870553260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859627870537336161.post-37914406476819191232012-03-29T13:38:10.542-04:002012-03-29T13:38:10.542-04:00Since I am new to your blog, I was wondering what ...Since I am new to your blog, I was wondering what auto-immune disease are you receiving IV for? Is it for the Hashimoto? I know hearing that coffee has to be cut from your diet is rough..I am an avid coffee drinker and I get that! I am also trying to figure out how to cure my autoimmune disease which is causing severe joint pain and has pretty much cut off my exercise..so I am trying cut unhealhy things out of my diet like diet soft drinks, cutting down on my coffee and eating only pure whole natural foods. I replace coffee with hot rasbery and nettle tea (they say it helps with pain) and surprizinly, I liked it! Just having something hot to drink in the morning is half the battle! The point of this long comment is that if you look at this as "one door closing and another opening", it may help you to get through it a little easier. You may even find replacement foods that you like better! Just a thought! It is how I am getting through changing my diet!Only in Louisiana ~ documenting the adventures we call Life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14145200924247548717noreply@blogger.com
