I'm not vegan, and maybe that is supposedly key, but I eat very clean (very, VERY clean) and I ran several times a week and did Pilates when this happened. I only stopped when the pain was too great for me to get through the motions. So I try pills. Some help, some are awful. Most are sort of a combination. If I could find a way to function without taking any, I would do it, though. I hate them. You can't seriously like like #1 though, right????Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644569152748119356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209692386668184870.post-9004682434879849482012-03-09T05:54:43.377-07:002012-03-09T05:54:43.377-07:00Thanks.

Look, I am not normal. I know that. One of the only things that I dislike about going to see my doctor is that he always yells at me for not taking my medicine. I never even pick up my prescription. I do not take meds. A lot of my conditions have improved with a vegan diet and regular exercise, so my doctor can take his pills and shove them up his left nostril!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209692386668184870.post-57247813733506997682012-03-08T22:47:21.073-07:002012-03-08T22:47:21.073-07:00clever, brilliant and unfortunately so true.
