Loving the Cambridge Diet
I will share my story with you
I started with a chronic disease in September 2005 - I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.
For two years I battled with doctors and hospitals, had dozens of GP and hospital appointments, x-rays and etc.
I had allowed this 'chronic disease' to take over my life.
I never went anywhere, never went out, gained weight, was really ill.
Then I discovered Cambridge. I lost weight and I
started going out, met my partner in November, my social life took off.
Finally got a handle on the pain, am learning to live with the disease and learning to work around it, learning my limitations instead of battling to do what I could do before. I can't do what I did before, no two ways about it. I have learned to keep mornings for myself, so that I can get going gradually. I have learned to work in the afternoons and evenings so that I have energy to do it.
I have learned that if I have a bad day, I rest and that when I have a good day I don't go mad and overdo it!
It is quite incredible how this disease affects everything in life.
I have stopped discussing my condition with anyone except my GP and my Rheumatologist/Orthopaedic surgeons. Again, quite unconsciously, since talking about the chronic disease made me depressed.
The Cambridge diet has cured my 'unexplained anaemia' - which, it turns out, was caused by a wheat intolerance - Cambridge is wheat/gluten free. I was admitted to hospital in March, for my birthday (2007) at death's door with a blood count of 5 having 6 pints of blood transfused. Since July and starting CD my blood count has stayed up over 13 for three months now without medication.
I have a wonderful life to look forward to - I can't do anything about the RA, that is just one of those things I have to live with.
My new partner is just wonderful and caring.
I should hit my goal weight by about May, I am on holiday for two weeks in April in Malta which might delay it a little.
I have so much to look forward to.
The shops are a myriad of clothes which now FIT me, rather than having to stick with two shops which cater for 'larger sizes' - the choice is just astonishing. I have rediscovered lacey lingerie and rediscovered my legs in dresses which come to the knee instead of to the ankle.
I have rediscovered a waist! What a novelty!
Cambridge is a fabulous journey - stick with it, it is life-changing.
