Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Wow! Great post , this is worth keeping. I was diagnosed with Reiters Syndrome when I was 23, I'm 56 now. Back then I was given a Gold Sodium shot every month. It came after I had tried a bunch of Antibiotics. After 16 months I gave up with no results. I hope you will find some relief. Harv in Michigan reactive arthritis " reiters " treatment with colloidal silver I haven't been on this forum in some time. So I thought id share my story again. At the age of 25 is when I became very sick with reactive arthritis. It all started after I had been dealing with a bad case of urinary tract infection which lasted for months. I went to planned parent hood to get tested multiple times because I thought I had an STD " burning on urination " but every test came back negative, and they didnt give me an answer. They tried treating me with a single dose of antibiotics but that did not work. Mysterously it just went away one day, but then a few weeks later after a very stressful day at a family event I came down with a very bad horible fever I will never forget. That is when it all started my friends. Fever, foot,ankle,knee, elbow, wrist, fingers, inflammation-fevers that I almost commited suicide on. All of my joints except my hips and shoulders felt inflammed on both sides of my body. I also came down with the worst case of psorasis on my face and the top of my head, and started loosing my hair at this time to male pattern baldness? Anyways the bad fever lasted 1-2 weeks I was in bed with night sweats, fevers, nervous physcho shaking. I was not right and I knew it. I couldnt walk or move my arms without my joints feeling like they were going to ripp apart from so much inflammation. My joints feel like bone-on-bone. I went to the doctors after a month of this because I didnt have insurance. I wish I would have went the first night but stupidly I didnt. My doctor took blood and to my suprise he found no inflammatory markers at all. He said I was perfectly healthy. The only thing he found was the gene hlab27 and said its possible I might have reactive arhtritis or psoriatic arthritis. I said to him " my doctor " How can you say im perfectly healthy? I have been in bed for a month with fevers and the worst joint inflammation in my body I almost killed myslef. He said I had mental problems and most of it is in my head because my blood work came back completly normal except for the hlab27. I went to several other doctors after this guy and all of them say im perfeclty healthy. I have lossed all hope in doctors, and dont take any synthetic drugs. I have dealt with this disease myself for the past 6 years. I am now 31 years old. I have tried every natural antiinflammatory diet and supplement I could buy or find. Somtimes it helps while other times I just deal with this pain " inflammation " My feet and ankles are always on fire also my prostate is on fire to but I deal with it. Im used to the pain but it drives me insane. This past month I came down with a very bad flare up that hurt my knee joints badly. I actually feel like my bones are rubbing together. After researching this disease for the past 6 years now I read an article saying auto immune diseases is your immune system attacking a bacteria or viral infection that it cant get rid of so it keeps attacking a nd attaacking. It says your immune system is not dumb but its trying to rid your body of bacteria or viruses that it cant get rid of. I have started to take colloidal silver as my last treatment as everything else I have tried has not done anything. I will keep this post updated as I feel like a sick lab rat doing experements on myself to cure this condition. I have been taking colliodal silver at 10 ppm as my choice. I am desperate to try anything to cure this disease. Has anyone on this forum benifitted from colliodal silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi I tired the colliodal silver maybe 20 years ago. One caution is the type of silver. It must be a very good quality, a food grade. I think it worked for awhile, but I do not remember why I stopped it. What brand are you using and where do you get it? Do you have good family support? Are you able to work? I know what you mean about doctors, they do not understand us. Our disease is too rare. Hang in there. We care about you.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Thanks for the replys! This last flare up was very painful in my knees and it feels bone on bone now. Thats when I decided I have to try somthing else. Like I said I have been using every anti inflammatory I can, fish oil, herbs and spices, etc etc and very seldom does it bring relief. I started taking colloidal silver probly 4 days ago and my normal inflamation is gone in my feet and ankles. It actually feels like my inflammation has left my body except for my knees which are still damaged from this last flare up I had. Im taking glucosamine and joint herbals to try and rebuild my knees. I urge everyone here to try colliodal silver as I am having less and less inflammation while using it. I have read that the best colloidal silver to take is the stuff with 10 ppm. The first few days I was taking a few sips a day off the stuff and didnt feel the effects until a few days of after taking it. Im on my fifth day now. I bought mine at the local GNC supplement store but it is fairly expensive there. 30 dollars for 8 ouces of it. I have ordered a 32 ounce bottle of it for 29.00 at a bulk internet store. Interesting enough I was going to use this stuff when I came down my urinary tract infection 6 years ago but I never went thru with it. And I believe that infection is what caused this inflammatory cascade that has lasted me 6 years now. If this colloidal silver takes this disease away from me im going to kick myself in the butt! because I was going to take this 6 years ago but never did. Nasa and the russian astronauts use this stuff in there drinking water in space so they dont get sick. The only bad colloidal silver to use is the homade stuff. Cause you dont know how much silver your actually making which can lead to blue skin if you take to much of the wrongly made stuff. I believe this stuff will help many people here. I urge everyone to try colliodal silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 My mother and father didnt understand the first few years of my illness because I couldnt work and they were trying to get me to work, and I couldnt even walk lol. I did get a part time job washing dishes in the first 2 years of my illness but even that was to painful to continue. They now understand me because its been 6 years of complaining to them lol. My dad doesnt menntion or talk about it much to me. My mom is very caring luckily and I talk alot to her. I am not able to work at this time. Im on ssi-ssd after waiting 2 years to get on it. I have mental and physical problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
