Prolonged fasting is showing promise for these kind of things. There's a lot of research pointing toward it being usefull.

Fasting Diet Has Been Shown to Ease Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms in Early Trial

New research has shown that a diet involving periods of fasting could help fight autoimmune conditions - which are a range of disorders, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis, that occur when a patient's immune system starts attacking its own body.

You've got different benefit from 48h+ fasting, especialy on the immune system. And it's suprisingly easy to got to long fast when you're used to IF.

‘Intermittent’ is usually referring to a daily schedule, at least everything I’ve seen. I think 16/8 is pretty common, it’s what I aim for these days.

What about diet?

High volume, low calories high protein usually.

also whatever is going on with my liver is now causing my legs to get pitting edemas. So this is fun.

Seriously, look it up. High protein diet, liver dysfunction, edema. Fits. Does your doctor know about your fasting and diet?

When I say high protein I don’t mean ungodly levels, it’s usually pretty balanced, my diet was given to me by my nutritionist, which my Doctor signed off on. My uric acid levels were normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

anyone used a posture corrector?
been having sharp muscle spasms for over a week, in the pic on the right, just above the middle vertical loop. after looking a ton of pixs, best guess is posture related.

You need PT. Propping yourself up might get some short-term relief but won't address the fundamental issue of muscular imbalance/weakness.

My wife was suffering from severe back pain for a couple months and had a total turnaround in 1-2 sessions. She's in good athletic shape but had a weak posterior chain that she was compensating for with her lumbar muscles.

Had some test results come back that could have indicated a blood clot to I spent all night in the ER (5pm till 11:30am) to get a CT of my chest and dopplers of my legs, and all came back negative. However they did see nodules on my lugs they want me to keep tabs on as there is a fraction of a chance they could turn cancerous later on.

They are now learning that my apnea is causing me to a-fib, impacting me in a way where fluids are building up. I have a referral for a cardiologist now.

That was a pretty stressful 16 hours though.

Yeah I used one for awhile after my cancer was in my spine. Helped a ton. Mine was pretty similar to the one on the far right, seemed like a good design. For me also helped to use an abdominal / lumbar support sort of belt, even tho my pain was often higher up than that.
