Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Kathy and everyone else who asked questions about my pain...it's widespread everywhere. Mostly joints, but some muscles too. I feel like I did at my worst point before I had the implants out. I know that it's common to get worse before getting better and that it's likely that I'll relapse now and then, so I'm not worried about it, but that doesn't make it any easier to handle. I'm in sooooo much pain and I'm having trouble sleeping which is making the pain worse which is making me have more trouble sleeping...got the picture?! The horrible fatigue and brain fog has returned too. I've been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Sjogren's, Raynaud's and some other stuff I can't remember! Thanks to all of you for your concern. Sorry if I don't post much for a while. I don't want to complain and I hope I don't discourage anyone.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Oh Pam, I'm very sorry to hear about what you're going through. this is . Hey, I feel like I was the biggest baby here. I couldn't take the pain at first. Yes it returned in my joints and the whole illness feeling came back. My labs went wacky and I was getting rashes and other scarey symptoms but it all cleared. I'm 5 months now and the fatigue has gone too. Each month gets better. You can complain to me honey, lots of hugs, Kathy and everyone else who asked questions about my pain...it's widespread everywhere. Mostly joints, but some muscles too. I feel like I did at my worst point before I had the implants out.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 -- Pam You are not a complainer. In one form or another we have all been where you are now. It is hard not to get down, to feel discouraged, get depressed, etc. That is one of the great things about this group. We understand and are here to support you. There are so many ups and downs with these illnesses and chronic pain is very hard to take. Rheumatoid Arthritis can be especially painful. Have you considered going on the antibiotic protocol? The most studies for ap have been on rheumatoid arthritis. Also diet changes seem to really affect rheumatoid arthritis. Have you gone to the rheumatic websites? The majority of people there seem to have RA and they may have good tips. Are you taking supplements that could cause a herx? Just about anything can. What do you take, if anything? If you are herxing, you probably need to reduce what you are taking to reduce imflammation in your body. Sometimes we throw in too many things at once and instead of being helpful, it is confusing to our body and produces more imflammation. Please don't not post if you are feeling down. We are here. And don't think you will discourage people. Anybody who regularly reads the posts knows that we are very different in the time and method of our healing. Stay encouraged and hang in there! love to you, kathy - In , michelle king <michellerking1@y...> wrote: > Oh Pam, I'm very sorry to hear about what you're going through. this is .
