Hi Seb, You have all the caring and support from all of us ASers on this site and we all care and understand what you're going through. I think l can speak for most of us and say "Been their, done that". You need to make a decision so you can start to heal. Don't look at the meds as a life long sentence, you have choices one being to go on meds until you get a handle on your pain. That alone should make a huge difference on your outlook about everything, pain is cruel. Once pain is under control start the NSD faithfully, buy some books on the paleo diet just to get a feel for what is good practice when it comes to eating. NSD and paleo diets are great ways of eating and everyone not only people with autoimmune diseases should be eating this way. Once you have eaten NSD for a few months start a plan with your doctor on weaning off your drugs while remaining on the NSD. See what happens. Don't give up and be persistant. Remember you have the end say in your treatments.The doctor is part of YOUR team. GO FOR IT! GOOD LUCK!
