Hellooo!

I'm pretty new to the forum but not very new to health troubles. I'm 24 years old and have had massive amounts of iv meds in the past three years, more specifically speaking massive amounts of iv steroids (and by massive I mean about 50 grams in total within about 12-16 months) and a full cycle of cyclophosphamide (about 7-8 months of monthly infusions followed by four infusions done every three months). I've also taken oral immunosupressants, oral steroids, blood thinners etc etc.

Even though I've always been pretty thin I used to eat incredibly badly, a couple of bags of crisps a day along with a big bottle of diet coke and 6-7 coffees and that was it most days and I used to be pretty sedentary. I'm trying to change all that now and for the past three months I've switched over to a mostly organic vegan diet (I cheat and eat a little parmesan once in a while!) and I exercise every day. As for supplements I take evening primrose oil, artichoke extract, milk thistle, n-acetyl cysteine and lipoic acid daily and I add a very generous amount of flaxseeds to nearly all my meals . Once a week I take copper and zinc tablets instead of the lipoic acid and NAC. So my question is the following: I have hashimoto's thyroiditis, detected about three years ago, but am euthyroid, and I have an autoimmune disorder that increases the viscosity of my blood thus making it more prone to clot; I really think however that the incredibly poor diet I had for years and the sedentary lifestyle I led probably contributed to my poor health in some ways (if nothing else, my body probably had very little nutrients to heal or repair itself with for a long time). I've been reading the threads on the forum for a few days now and everyone here seems to have an incredible amount of knowledge about vitamins and supplements and their role in health and so I was wondering if off the top of your heads there's something else I should be doing, eating, taking, or someone I should be consulting with to maximize my chances of getting better and to help my body get all the nutrients it has lost either because of the meds I've taken, the ilnesses I have or because of the lifestyle I've had.

Thank you!
