INFO
Do you suffer with inflammation?
Inflammation is a normal process that happens in the body to help it heal.
If you graze your knee, the grazed area will become red and painful, your body will naturally send more blood to the area to help kickstart the healing process.
It’s also telling you to stop using that part of the body so it can heal.
When the graze does start to heal, the redness and pain will slowly recede allowing you to use your knee freely.
Chronic inflammation refers to an inflammatory response that happens in the body but does not dissipate, leaving your body in a constant state of alert.
When this happens, the sufferer can experience a wide range of symptoms and they often won’t know what’s causing the problem.
Personally I have suffered with inflammation for many years, though I only identified it as inflammation in recent years.
Through my various dietary and lifestyle changes I manage this fairly successfully, with the odd ‘flare up’ here and there with the most recent being in May 2025.
The trigger?
I have deviated away from my usual way of eating, my usual hydration levels and my usual sleep pattern for about 2 weeks telling myself that "I’ll be alright".
Yes, even the most stalwart of healthy eaters can be led by the temptation of crisps, deep fried food and some delicious dark chocolate from Belgium!
I am, after all, only human.
The outcome?
Persistent and ever changing pain in my body, a return of some irritable bowel symptoms, lethargy, brain fog, waking up feeling tired and grumpy, bloating and feeling like I’m going to catch a cold.
All of these are signs of inflammation in my body, with the most disruptive of these symptoms being pain.
I experience the most random of attacks: my right hand seizing up with pain whilst driving, my left shin suddenly burning with pain while I lie in bed.
These sensations come, and they go, with no warning and no injury to the area.
I suffered in this way for many years, not knowing what it was and assuming it was normal as I was a busy mum of young children, often carrying one on each hip, and always pushing them both on a pushchair.
Had I known that the pain was related to my diet, I would have made some changes sooner.
I'm glad I know what I know now... but part of me does think back to how much I suffered, and I can't help but think that it would have been fantastic if I'd been given some information about inflammation in my younger years.
