I did try it. Unfortunately, it didn't help me at all. I had high hopes because I had heard so many good things about it, but it just wasn't for me. My rheumy was all for me trying it, too, because he's had patients that have shown improvement using it.

Yes, I tried it. It didn't work for me either. It kept me awake for a month. I originally started my blog to track it: ElizabethMilo.com

My rheumatologist would not prescribe it do I turned to a holistic doctor. I have been on MXT, pred, Orencia. The secondary infections and headaches were too much to handle so I am now on The Wahls Diet and about to start LDN. I guess I'll see. Did you have any side effects other than sleep disturbance? Thank you.

Personally, I didn't have any side effects whatsoever. And it didn't affect my sleep at all. I actually slept like a rock. I did read that it can affect sleep for the first couple weeks but doesn't always cause problems. If you do try it, I hope it helps. :o)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
