Have had Thyroid issues for numerous years and several years ago was diagnosed with Sjorgrens Syndrome. For the last few months I have been experiencing a very uncomfortable Sjorgrens flare and know from earlier discussions with my Rheumatologist that I am on course for drug treatment.
i really, really want to avoid drugs if I can. My body always seems to overreact and I have a litany of negative drug reactions on my medical files.
With that in mind I gave up Gluten, Dairy and Sugar three months ago to see if that would calm my symptoms. At first it did, but now things are deteriorating again and so I have been trying the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol to see if that will improve the situation.
I am really struggling. The protocol is so restrictive and I am really missing coffee, nuts, oats, potatoes etc.
I wonder if anyone else has tried the diet and had success with it? Or am I just making my life more miserable for nothing? Are any of you on it at the moment and able to recommend blogs, websites, books that could help me navigate the next few months.
Would really appreciate any advice !!

I tried it for a considerable length of time. It was, as you say, very restrictive and anti-social.
There was never anything to eat in restaurants, hotels, social gatherings or other people's homes.
It didn't really seem to produce results so I gave it up as I felt quite 'left out'. But I was glad I tried it.
