I full-heartedly believe that your four tips are great tips. I actually understand and agree with everything I have read on your website. I wish I could go the prescription free route but I am one of the people that gains great benefits from my medications and unfortunately do not have the ability to take care of myself the way I wish I could. I desperately want to be able to change my diet but it is so hard to find healthy food I can just grab when I'm in a flare-up. I also know I drink too much coffee but it helps me make it through the five hours of a work I must do a day. Any diet suggestions would be extremely helpful. And any suggestions on writing blogs, I just started my own and it is how I found yours and this whole community I didn't know was out there. Yours has been my favorite and the most informative one I have read so far. Thanks again, MZ <strong>Thanks Morgan. I really appreciate your feedback on my blog. I try very hard to write about relatable topics. I am with you on drinking too much coffee. I have cut back considerably from what I once drank, but I enjoy it so much I just can not give it up completely. So I make an effort to drink more water before and after and it usually helps reduce the side affects I feel from the coffee. It is my little indulgence. It is really hard to find healthy on-the-go meals, or meals that are easily ready for you when a flare-up occurs. I struggle with this as well, but you have given me an idea for something to research and write about. I completely respect your decision to take prescription medication. Anything that brings you great benefits should be a part of your maintenance program. I worry when I write about my decision that people will think I am judging them, but I am not. Thanks for coming here and sharing. I look forward to reading your blog. FH</strong> Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put together everything you have on your website.
