So after eating better, cutting down on coffee, and taking better care of myself overall... the inflammation in my eyes has gotten better. Seeing that, and how my body is reacting to chemotherapy, immune suppressants, and steroids; my doctor is taking me off of all of them. This will be temporary, and the possibility of regular ocular steroid injections and anti-glaucoma drops are in my future... i'm absolutely thrilled. The idea is to get my body strong and fit again.
So right now, my
diet is:
- As many veggies and fruits i can get into my body. Summer makes that a joy.
- Lots of protein and whole grains... eating meat occasionally.
- Tons of water.
- Tea, not coffee (except on the weekends)
- A daily multi-vitamin, 2400 mg of folic acid and anti-inflammatory supplement Zyflamend
Once everything clears out of my system, I'm hoping to have the energy to start working out and bike riding ASAP. Here's to hoping it's all keeping the inflammation at bay. I'll find out next week. If not, nothing a little needle in the eye can't fix, right? Anything besides chemo.
