Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Dear person you would probably use your regular lotion recipe but add a cucumber melon fragrance oil. Lucinda Can someone help me? I am very new to this site as well as making my own products. I have researched all the different recipes for lotions, lip balms, bodywash etc. I am really interested in trying to make some cucumber melon lotion, but I cannot find a recipe anywhere for it. Does any body have a recipe they could share with me? By the way I have never made lotion before. I am really excited to get started on this journey.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Some sites that might help you find some recipes and then there are books and you can do searches on the internet. The more research you do the more you learn.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't have any diangosis. I believe I may have a chronic RA from a virus or something...I just wanted to see if anyone else has had similar symptoms. I have been to multiple doctors, rheumatologists, etc...with no final diagnosis. I know a bit about medicine, so I will be technical...here it goes. 1 year ago, I started to get migrating pains in my joint/peri-joint areas. it would skip from my hand to shoulder, etc. I also had a week history of back stiffness in the morning. I never had any morning stiffness anywhere else. No uveitis, and with the exception of my TMJ, I never had any tenderness or swelling of my joints. My TMJ was tender. I had many tests. ESR, CRP, Lyme, thyroid, Ca, parvovirus, Hepatitis, Liver tests, ANA, HIV, polymyositis tests, etc...the only thing that was positive was the AST of my liver enzymes...which may indicate a viral infection. Repeat testing a few months later, and this became normal. Well, after a few months of these pains coming and going, I had some muscle aches and sensation of weakness in the arms. I went to a neurologist who diagnosed me with carpal tunnel on both sides. I wore splints and this got better...and resolved. By this time, the joint pains had gone. everything was great for a 5 months, then it started again in march of this year. similar pains, perhaps a bit worse. There is no morning stiffness, although I have knee stiffness when I stand for an hour or so without moving. the joints most affected are the knuckles, knees, wrists and perhaps the ankles. I took doxycyline which may have helped some, but I found out this can cause lupus and other problems, so I stopped it. IT is an anti- inflammatory though and that is how it may have improved my symptoms somewhat. Please help. I suppose it's good that there is no joint swelling although I keep checking and I think I make it tender sometimes...I am getting desperate, just wondering if anyone's symptoms started this way. since I don't have any frank arthritis (swelling) I don't have any diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I realize this is not the answer you are looking for, but it may take awhile before you have a diagnosis. It took me 2 yrs and 3 Rheumatologists before I finally got a correct diagnosis. I have never personally met a single patient who had all the classic symptoms and was thus able to get an immediate diagnosis. One Rheu insisted that I had Rheumatoid arthritis. The second said I would have to wait and see what developed. The third went back through my family history, my history and the fact that I was positive for HLA-B27 and came up with a diagnosis of Reiter's Syndrome. This was 25yrs ago and at that time it was not thought of as a disease affecting women. Now we know thats not true. I know how much it helps to get a diagnosis and then you know what you're up against. Try not to panic in the meantime. Barb [] > > I don't have any diangosis.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi Barb and table432@...> You folks are lucky, some of us old timers were not fully diagnosed for over 10 years. In the meantime we got everything including " it is all in your head " . I pray that you will get your diagnosis very soon, that way you can get started on some of the newer treatments. Stuff not available when I was first diagnosed. Fr. Dave --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I was lucky in the fact that my dr, a plain old GP within 30 minutes had dxed me with reiters. Well it wasn't immediate. For several months I had been having the supposed conjunctivitis and cystitis symptoms and one internal medicine dr told me it was in my head..in so many words. It wasn't till I started getting the severe big toe pain and sausage toe of my left " index toe " that I went to this GP... This was the same group who had the dr who oversaw my short-lived pregnancy and miscarriage.. but a different dr. It was after this miscarriage like two months that my symptoms started and they now say it was the miscarriage and somehow tissue left behind during the D and C. (hard to see what was in there as I was hemorrhaging badly, hence the d and c) that they say triggered my immune system to " think " I stil had foreign tissue invading me (i.e. my unborn fetus/ovum). I don't know how many other have had reiter's come on in this way. Well both my birth Parents (I'm adopted) had reiter's but they did not find it out for years.. until we had a reunion and they heard me talk of my symptoms, recognized that theirs were similar and went to the dr with this information.) Subsequently my niece and her children have reiter's and AS... They also benefited from my having met my birth family. Odd because usually it is the adopted child who learns things about their health history but this time it was the other way round. I did learn some other things tho... At any rate. Hi old timers Fr. Dave and Barb and Harve:) Have a good weekend all and welcome to any new people. Liz On Fri, 11 Jul 2008, Fr.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 > > Do you have any eye problems or changes to speak of? What about > urinary tract problems or changes? > I have been diagnosed for about 17 months. I have not had any eye problems at all, nor urinary problems. This and the fact that Im a 46 year old woman, makes me question if I have the right diagnosis. I do have sacroilitis, I had a sausage digit for about a year. My original flare was severe. I started to have a little soreness in my left foot, by that night I couldn't walk on it. It was very, very painful. The next day it swelled up, then my other foot started swelling and my Right knee. All were swollen and warm. The next day my GP got me in with a Rheumy, who ran all the blood tests and found my sed rate was 145 and my CRP was 120. Plus a positive HLA-B27. I was put on methotrexate, prednisone, doxycycline, folic acid for quite a while. I finally got off prednisone about 6 months ago. Now Im only on sulfasalazine, but Ive been having alot of foot pain again.. My GP told me to go to part time work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
