Curvature of the spine??
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hello, I've recently noticed how there is a sort of lump at the bottom of my neck and just before my shoulders. I wish I could attach a picture because it is quite hard to explain. I done the worst possible thing and searched the internet for answers and reassurance and self-diagnosed myself to have very minor thoracic kyphosis. Does this sound correct? Should I visit my GP?

I stopped all obvious carbs, potatoes, rice, bread, cereal. No more my favorite pancakes and french toast which I'm known for. I only use a little flour in making cheese sause for vegetables other wise no flour. It is very hard to get rid of all carbs so you still get some. Very little fruit except blueberries, raspberries and some strawberries.I use to eat 1 watermelon a week on my own, my favorite.
I have every side effect of prednisone going and also very sensitive to it so my reductions are only 0.5mg at a time over 8 weeks and i need another month to stabilize. Very envious of those able to reduce.

She looks at my 0.5mg reduction as moving forward which is good. She leaves everything to my GP.

I do a dip with balkin yogurt, mayonnaise, crushed garlic and chives that if you like garlic is awesome for dips or replacement for tiziki sauce. Almost equal parts individual size yogurt to mayo. I love garlic.

I had to look up corgettes which we call zucchini. I make awesome tripple chocolate cake with them and now give to family and friends and admitt I've wanted to experiment with it in other ways and now will.
I use spaghetti squash to replace spaghetti and we like it very much.
We have to be inventive for this is life changing with PMR if we want to maintain our weight and not gain as well as reduce inflammation.
Thanks Eileen for motivating me.

I just beat 1 egg into a tub of Total full fat greek yogurt and spread it over the lasagne or whatever. I use it to make cauliflower cheese (how British) as well. The original recipe I found years ago as a topping for moussaka included a teaspoon of cornflour to stabilise the topping but I don't find I need it. It sets a bit like quiche I suppose.ย
Can't summon up the enthusiasm for vegan beyond the odd meal - though I should get interested as my granddaughter has just joined the ranks. She went veggie on ethical grounds but decided to go the whole hog as she was allergic to milk as a baby - and her asthma has improved a LOT!

Have fun packing - I devoutely hope I never have to do it again! But don't make the mistake of thinking you don't need to throw things out because you have a LARGE condo. A good gauge is not to unpack - if after a year you didn't miss it - you don't need it. Simples...
