All the family challenges can really drain one's energy. I have had Crohns for the last 10 years after being hospitalized with severe pain and weight loss. I was put on the maximum dose of a drug called Lialda. I believe I am in remission now as a result. But I truly understand that everyone with Crohns responds differently to all the drugs out there. And certainly having added stress is an unwanted complication! I am sending you thoughts of healing and love as you navigate your situation!<br /><br /><br /><br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699955024141927068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987409444312360594.post-3010187587339236862021-09-08T12:35:35.461-04:002021-09-08T12:35:35.461-04:00Statins are more likely to kill you than lower you...Statins are more likely to kill you than lower your cholesterol numbers. We know two who died from them. Hubby's doc was pushing them and Hubby asked him how much it lowered his chance of a heart attack. Answer 1%. Any time you want I will give you info for the alternative practitioner who healed me. Many travel to her and it would be worth it. I was med free in six months.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987409444312360594.post-56431615389277096362021-09-08T10:25:04.672-04:002021-09-08T10:25:04.672-04:00my doc suggested I take resveratrol to get my chol...my doc suggested I take resveratrol to get my cholesterol down as a statin was not doing a thing.

His brother made the comment about old people not being able to work and I asked what old was, his brother who knew my age told me MY AGE. Their parents found out and definitely ragged him about it.Chef Owingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232750876170243171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987409444312360594.post-61690607411140513332021-09-07T14:57:23.785-04:002021-09-07T14:57:23.785-04:00We eat as much raw fruits and vegetables as we can...We eat as much raw fruits and vegetables as we can get down daily. Big salads most days whether we want it or not. We try to vary these some with different toppings and dressings . Also good fats and a lot of them which corrected our cholesterol and triglyceride numbers. Lots of water and only one cup of coffee daily because caffeine dehydrates the body. No prescription or over the counter drugs. We are 100 percent natural healthcare with oils and herbs and supplements. My husband's Granny, whom he looks like, lived to be 98 and I look like my paternal Grandmother who lived to be 96. Looks are a good indicator of genetics. We eat far better than both of them so have a good chance of living at least as long.

I have similar conversations with my husband. Need to increase our exercise and adjust our eating away from daily ice cream sandwiches! We both are within 10 pounds of our correct weight but don’t have the muscle mass we need, since it evaporated with age…we are 74 and 65…. Thanks for posting this today, it is another push for me to actually stop procrastinating!Traveling Oltmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703550588711913428noreply@blogger.com
