Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hi Jessy, Sorry that your having a flare. Your so young, and I understand how you want to do things. When I know that I'm going somewhere I rest before, and after. I also have a lot of pain in my feet. I just try to stay off them for awhile, and soak them. You might need to ask your doc for some pain meds if you have a lot of pain.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Jessy, My husband has had RA for about 10 years & was diagnosed in his early 30's. I'm so sorry to hear that you have to deal with this kind of pain as well at such a young age! I asked his opinion on your question & he says to lay off the dairy, wheat and any caffeine. Also, alternate between cold/hot cloths with your feet up until the swelling goes down. And of course, as Tawny said, pain medication. I know these don't sound like a lot, but it does seem to help him enough where he can get around a little easier! I hope this helps....feel better! :-) Diane tdianaok <tdianaok@...> wrote: Hi Jessy, Sorry that your having a flare. Your so young, and I understand how you want to do things.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Jessy: I can't give you any info about the achilles tendons, but I can tell you that I too experience severe pain when I flare in my joints. My doc has given me permission to carefully adjust the amount of Prednisone I take to help get me through a flare, and so far this has been very successful. Right now, I am on 5mg a day (take it in the morning), but when I start to flare, I will take a second one in the evening to help control the inflammation. Make sure to speak with your Rheumy as to find out what is best for you. My life still consists of daily pain and periods of severe inflammation that make it difficult to leave my bed. With the help of increasing my Prednisone, I find that the flares are under control faster and I am experiencing a better quality of life.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hello, Jessy! I can relate to what you are saying. I, too, was very young when I started having symptoms of RA. I think it got really bad around 23- 24yo. I was Dx'd at age 27 and have just turned 30. Started out being able to tell when it was going to rain. I now have pain that runs from my knees to my ankles, so bad that it feels liek I am standing on broken bone at times. I haven't started taking anything other than Aleve so far. I know it's hard to be so young and to have such pain in your body. What anti-inflammatory are you on?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Debbie, Hey Girl, you just can't get a break can you? You know me, I'm a real supporter of repoing and how great repo results can be, but if you are now going to add in trouble with positioning at night as she gets older, I think you know my answer. Since we know she has been for the most part doing well with the repo, we know that her head is still very pliable, that's a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it makes repo work well, good because it gets fast corection in a band, but bad when they won't cooperate with sleeping position. You know you need to keep the pressure on the bossing areas and if that can't be maintained then it's one more problem on the repo road. Does this make sense to you? Let me know if you have anymore questions. CAROLG > Hi all. Well, we have been very busy around here, so I haven't been up > on all the posts, but everyone is in my prayers. Question.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Angie , This has been happening to me, as well. I stated brushing my hair before I get in the shower. That helps to get all the loose ones out and keep them out of the drain. At this point, I don't know who sheds more, me or my cats!!! Mine has been coming out steadily, but I don't have any bald patches or major thinning, so I haven't done anything about it. Rogaine was suggested by my hairstylist. I didn't want that, once you stop using it, everything that grew as a result of the Rogaine will come out!! A dermatologist would be my next suggestion. They could give you more answers as to what would help. Sometimes it's just a supplement of some sort (Vit. B12, ect..). Since I haven't noticed any actual thinning, I'm not doing anything other than brushing before I shower, keeping it in a loose braid at night when I go to bed, and buying the occasional Liquid plumber!! I've been on MTX for 3 years now and it hasn't gotten any worse...Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hi Angie. I am on MTX injections, and I've noticed that mine has been falling out steadily since being switched over from the pills. My hair has thinned considerably along my hairline at the top of my forehead, and it seems to have thinned out less noticeable everywhere else. I always have it in a ponytail when I am preparing meals because I find it is everywhere.....(on my clothes, floor, etc.). I am going to get my hair cut here in the next few weeks. Speak to your hairdresser about different cuts that give the illusion of your hair being fuller than it is. Also, you'd be amazed what a blowdryer and a round brush can do for volume!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi, This is just a suggestion but my mom experienced hair loss that has been mentioned. After test she had a thyroid that was not functioning properly. Actually it runs in the family both my daughter and I have it. But one of the signs of the thyroid not working right was hair loss. Just a suggestion you might want to ask about. Once they got her on synthroid the hair loss stopped.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hi I'm certainly not a doctor but your symptoms sound a lot like Pakinsons. Have you ever mentioned this to your doctor? Tremors or trembling are a primary feature as is muscle stiffness and difficulty walking. My good friends dad had this and what you describe sounds similar. I hope your doctors can figure it out for some peace of mind. Take Care Babs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hi , I get some muscle weakness, too, and found out Thursday during my initial visit with my new doctor that I also have weakness on my right side. They are suspecting lupus right now, not RA, which was my previous diagnosis. There are three things that immediately come to mind from your descriptions, and there are probably more possibilities. Have you been tested for MS or parkinsons? The weakness and shaking sound suspicious to me. The other thought was possible nerve/spinal cord issues since you said you had some degeneration of the spine. I'd discuss all three with your doctor. Good luck. I know how frustrating feeling so bad and not knowing why is. > Hi all, > I am still trying to figure out what is going on with me. I've been > following the list and some of what you all talk about.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 , Have you had your thyroid checked? Read this excerpt: Due to the similarity of its symptoms to other conditions, many thyroid disorders are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Hypothyroidism (where the thyroid reduces thyroid hormone production) involves the slowdown of the whole metabolism and is the most common form of thyroid disorder. Symptoms include increased weight, fatigue, depression, intolerance to cold, constipation, joint pain, muscle pain, brittle fingernails, brittle hair, pale skin, facial swelling, ankle swelling, foot swelling, leg swelling, muscle pain, muscle spasms, muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, drowsiness and missed menstruation (not a problem for you). http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/news/ thyroid_disorder_underdiagnosed_and_misdiagnosed.htm Babs' suggestion of Parkinson's is also something to be considered: The four primary symptoms of Parkinson's are tremor or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability or impaired balance and coordination. Patients may also have difficulty walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. a On Jul 30, 2005, at 2:39 AM, wrote: > Hi all, >      I am still trying to figure out what is going on with me. I've > been > following the list and some of what you all talk about. I hope my doc > can help figure all this out. >      I wanted to pass on the symptoms I have to see if they relate > to what > you folks that have been diagnosed with RA go through. >      I have a lot of pain, mostly in the legs from about mid thigh > down, > knees, ankles and feet. My muscles feel like they are stiff and very > inflexible quite often, and any exercise or use makes them feel very > exhausted, and they shake. The knees swell some, especially the right > one that they did surgery on a couple years ago (and made much worse > thank you). I also get a lot of soreness in my hands and wrists and > notice stiffness in the forearm muscles too. My hands shake a lot, > especially if i've exercised at all. I've noticed difficulty with > handwriting lately, and fine motor skills at my job. My hands just > shake. I've also noticed my jaw shakes when I'm trying to drink from > a > mug. I haven't heard much talk about muscle weakness on the list so > I'm wondering if other people have this kind of thing too. >      I also have a lot of fatigue, and often feel completely unable > to do a > thing. I have absolutely no energy. It takes several hours once I > wake up to get moving. I am stiff a bit, but mostly just profoundly > tired. Its horrendous. Its like it takes an act of congress to get > me > moving. >      I have a lot of degeneration in my back, neck, knees which they > have > always just told me is 'arthritis'. Seems things have gotten much > much > worse in last year, and more recently to the point that I honestly > think my days at my job are numbered. I think I've said this before. >      Anyway, does this sound like what you folks go through? or > something > else? Thanks. > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 a, I have had my thyroid checked. I have been hypothyroid for years, and am stable on medication with it.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi Sue, There is no guarantee that any particular flush will be successful in removing any or all of the detritus in either your liver or gallbladder. Many people perform 10 or more flushes before success. I know I am going to stir up great debate, but the jury is still out on what those soft green " stones " really are. Suffice to say that the flushes ability to stimulate both the flow of bile from the liver and emittion from the gallbladder is very detoxifying at the least. Pain in the liver/gallbladder region may happen from a number of reasons, gallstones or sludge being just one of them. The program is essentially the same no matter what: cease harm, protect, lubricate, detox, rebuild, support; not necessarily in that order. Thank God the liver is as regenerative as it is. Keep up the faith and hard work.

I have been having occasional sharp pains on my right side, about 3 to 4 inches below my rib cage. It seems to be after eating, later though, not right away. I did a liver flush about 2 months ago, and then I did one last night. I passed maybe 50 small stones total. But I am still having the occasional pain.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 , have you told your rheumatologist exactly how bad the pain is and how it is interfering with your daily functioning?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 , I am brand new to RA (July diagnosis, March is when the pain started) My MD just gave me a pain med and referred me to a rheumatologist. I was put on prednisone to get my pain controlled, plus Relafen for pain and swelling and Tramadal for pain and Arava. The prednisone was a godsend (although temporary) until the Arava could get to work. I am also now on Enberel injections and weaning off of the Prednisone. My Dr. was an angel from heaven. My body was completely racked with pain and I had a newborn baby to take care of. I could barely walk or move my arms, hands knees or shoulders. I thought that I would die. She said we would could get this all under control and that I would have a normal life again. I still have some stiffness on some mornings but not always. If your Dr. doensn't understand your pain (which I thought no one could) you should find one that does. There is relief for us out there. I am afraid of the pain coming back but for now my life is completely livable and enjoyable again. Good luck, Abby > > i have been diagnosed with ra but i have a question about the pain > there is times when i will have severe pain in my knees and i can > bairly walk and i have to take major pain meds to just take the edge > off of the pain and then the next day i feel drained and not able to > do anything (i also have pain in my hands just started about 10 > months ago) > > Like yesterday i eas having such bad pain i thought about getting > out the cruches to help me walk because of the pain and then this > morming i feel like i'm in a fog and i feel like me arms and legs > are like cement and they are stiff but not to much pain today (so > far) is this normal or not or is it something different then ra the > medications that i'm on right now is mtx 2.5 mg i take 5 tablets > weekly and folic acid 1mg daily and elavil 25 mg at night and > vicoden es or tyl #3 for the pain when needed > > > > sorry for the questions in advance > > melissa > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
