Hello DragonSlayer,
I make tangible gains when I fast which begin to diminish after a couple of days. And then in 5-6 days, I'm back to where I was before I started fasting, with all the inflammation and pain. Despite following a minimal diet all the time, none of which is starchy. This pattern has repeated a few times now.
As I was med free for over a year over, I've been reluctant to take them so far into my flare. But as the inflammation and pain has been increasing, I'm also worried about any further damage to my spine.
Should I consider taking sulfasalazine as I work with the diet? Is it gut safe and does it help in the short run? If not, will taking indomethacin for a week or depopred(steroid) one time help achieve results faster?
