Making the sugar-pain connection.
Currently having my worst flare up possibly ever, or at least in 7 years since starting Humira. Due to insurance changing at the new year, I've been off biologics for over a month. After many hours on the phone I should be getting my next dose Tuesday. Am 38 and otherwise healthy for reference sake.
The point of this post though is my symptoms have far worse steadily the last week or two. I have been dealing with a lot of work stress the last 2 weeks, and my vice has been eating cookies at night. It hit me today that the extra added sugar could be why symptoms are worsening.
I've seen posts on here about sugar worsening pain. Does any one have any insight on if this might be accurate or am I just imagining it ?
