@Positivecc cutting out items high in sodium, no longer eating pork and I rarely eat beef. Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, eating things high in water content as well as folic acid. Don't drink soda, rarely even drink juice, try and drink a gallon of water a day although I don't always meet that goal. Intermittent fasting, started with 12:12 (eating within 12 hrs of a day and not within the other 12) moved to an 18:6, now hope to try 24:24. I use the supplement juice plus for added vitamins, nutrients, fruits, veggies, etc daily. As well as a greens supplement, folic acid, when in pain I utilize hot packs, heating pads, hot baths with Epsom salt, guided meditation and visualization (sometimes I'll listen to one's made specifically for pain if it's really bad), using the IV clinic for fluids, cbd oil/gummies. I went from being on very high doses of narcotics (long acting & breakthrough) to completely cutting out breakthrough and slowly weaning myself off of long acting. From being In the hospital every 6 to 8 weeks for 2+ weeks at a time, getting transfusions, exchanges, surgeries, etc. to Not having been hospitalized for over a year
