Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 (((((((((((((((((((((((Laurie))))))))))))))))))) Laurie hon, Yes, I understand..You need to seek medical attention. Please get to an ER if nothing else. (and it sounds as if that might be your best option at this time with your rheumy on vacation) ask for a strong pain med , and if pain meds makes you nauseated, ask for something for anti-nausea. This will get you through the night. If the doctor on call seems compassionate, you could explain about the doctor situation, and ask him for a script for some " pain patches " to hold you over until your get in to see your rhuemy. Do not drive yourself in, please ask someone to take you. If you have any brochures please take a couple along. You need a few days of pain control to get back on an even keel. I am *not* pushing a strong pain med here, or pain patches, I am just giving you my opinion of what I would (and did) do if it were me. I needed a few days to not be in severe pain in order to think straight, and get back on my feet, it sounds as if this might be what you need also. As I don't know what medicines you are taking, and I am not a medical professional.. strong pain meds may not be for you...the doctor on call will make that decision. Please go, and don't " play down " the pain! Love you, tricia ************************************************************ -- I surrender I give up. I surrender. The pain wins. It gets worse and worse every day. In the three years since I was diagnosed it's never been this bad. It even hurts to have clothing touch my joints. My rhuemy is on vacation and the person covering for him is an idiot. I've gone from having fever spikes of 102 to just have the fever 24/7 I just want to crawl in a hole and die Sorry for the disruption. This vent is over. I'm outta here.

She usually hides it and I told her not to. She said thank you everyone and she is not alone and will not do anything stupid. I will stay in touch or you all can too but she is hurting so bad right now and feverish.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Do you take Celtic Salt - 1/2- 3/4 tsp per day? This will help with cell hydration since it is rich in potassium.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ok "rich" is a relative term. I shouldn't have said that. It has over 80 minerals. It is good for you. It will help with hydration. Low sodium levels impact hydration. Re: I surrender Celtic Salt is rich in potassium? Not according to my data.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The sloshing watery feeling is something that I has as well from detoxing intensely this summer. I used castor oil packs and it improved. My ND says that when we detox the body will attempt to dilute the toxins and stores extra water to do so. This is quite common but my first experience of this phenomenon. Sauna sessions helped me along with hot castor oil baths to get the skin and tissues to release. It gradually went away over time, and I took a detox holiday to give my body a break. I apologize for making remarks about ‘leaky’ cells earlier on. What I meant originally is that people vary in how much they absorb through their skin. Some people can overload very readily using transdermal application of hormones, meds, and other can smear stuff on all day and barely absorb it. This is why standardized medicine prefers oral methods of delivery, it is more reliable. This is discussed a lot in the literature about hormone delivery routes.
