Well considering I wouldn't even take a dying dog to the hospital near my home, I have no clue. Hahaha.

I am going to do some research on it though, and if I find anything out, I'll let y'all know.

Britt you might want to try seeing a dietitcian. Since you live near Johns Hopkins Dr. F probably can help you.

I asked my mother's rheumatologist what to do. She said the best is small changes...like she started using whole milk for coffee instead of cream...then gradually...2%...then 1%...than skim to NOTHING. Same with sugar. She said she lost 5 lbs from that (and she's a short woman like me) in a year just from THAT.

And increasing your activity even a little is better than nothing. Dr. F also will help you find activities that won't hurt you.

I have been doing REALLY good since I cut out most sugar's and ALL the soda's I was drinking on a daily basis. Plus I've been going to the gym more, and trying to eat healthy and I noticed it makes me not only feel better, but look a lot healthier too!
