I guess I might need pain management. What the heck to do?

I'm reading Dr. Terry Wahl's book about diet & MS. From an autoimmune standpoint it's making sense. The changes are quite drastic for me. ;-) I love my gluten and sugar.
Excellent book. I actually asked a question about SFN of Dr. Wahls that made it on to the Paleo Solution Podcast - Episode 252 (about 30 minutes in). Her functional medicine take this condition was very thought provoking.

Thanks for letting us now. A PDF transcription is at the link below, and I think the exchange starts at the bottom of page 13.

Just curious, what pattern is your ANA showing? Mine started as fine speckled and then went to nucleolar. I just had labs drawn again and am waiting for results. I imagine it will be 2 weeks before I get them in the mail. I imagine they will also call me. Given you have a high ANA, it sure smacks of an autoimmune process going on.
