Junie Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah, after looking at the supplements briefly, I think that I'm going to have to try something else. I have rheumatoid arthritis, so my health is already precarious. I'm doing well* right now, but I know that my health could take a downward turn at any moment. (Although I prefer not to think about it.) I need to find a good multi-vitamin with iron. *well -- Junie's definition -- not terrible; able to do most things that she wants to do, even if it involves some accommodation; not pain-free, but not taking meds every day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you low in iron? If so, I recommend Floradix. It's natural and well-absorbed. A good B complex might help you with energy and would not hurt you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I prefer linguine with red clam sauce, with the clam sauce having been made in a cast iron pot. :drool5: (Although it might get a bit old if it were a daily thing. Maybe.

Junie Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Junie, have you tried an anti-inflammatory diet? Sorry, I can't remember if you've discussed dietary restrictions. I went on a gluten-free diet about 7 years ago. It has made a huge difference in my health!! I've looked at anti-inflammatory diets. They look good. However, making it happen in my kitchen (and with my picky eaters) is a different story. Cutting down on dairy seems to help. I eat yogurt (and chocolate) every day, but I only drink a cup of milk about once every few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Current forms have been more and more inclusive. My kids often put down mixed race or even other. What irritates them and me is that it would be pc for them to put down their non-white race but not their white race. Smacks of the "one drop" rule to me. Don't get me started on the one drop rule. Where is one drop of Indian blood going to get you in this country? We do have a lot of people listing white and another race and white is listed as the first or the second. So I don't get what you are saying... How can your kids not put white? I always do. My mom is white and I honor that. Does the form demand one answer? I filled in the form for both my kids and the school district put one as mixed and one as Hispanic/Latina. Whatever. Story of my life... They have three "races" if West/south Asian counts as Asian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
