introducing the community and maintainer
Hi! I'm whisperdryad, founder of this community and maintainer. I started this project to try to share the tools that I'm learning from my own voyage with anti-inflammatory dieting with others and to learn as much as I can from them.

What brings me here? For almost a year now, I've been dealing with tendonitis in both of my wrists. This is a painful repetitive stress injury that I gave myself from completely overusing my wrists. It now keeps me from writing by hand at any length, and doing art to any extent that I used to. I've tried cutting down the number of classes I take at college and completely eliminating hand-writing and art from my days, but the puffiness and pain in my wrists just won't go away. This diet has been the first change I've seen in my condition since my original treatment in physical therapy and with cortisone shots.

Also encouraging me to try this diet and stick to it is the fact that my husband has fibromyalgia, a hard-to-define disorder with disrupted sleep, fatigue, and a lot of pain, especially in the joints. I hope that this diet helps him, too!


Please feel free to give me suggestions about links, layout, what should be in the userinfo, and so on. If this venture helps even one person other than myself, it will be a success! I invite you to help me if you like :)
