Re: Everyone...Uric Acid - Cricket

[Guest guest]

Cricket, that is so interesting. My pain is in all my joints, I

wonder what my blood looks like. Did yours go away after taking the

Ampoth...B stuff? (I can't spell it!)

I want to find a doc here that does the live blood screen. Is that

what it's called?

Thanks girl. I love ya!

Thanks for the info. It is something to think about. I have

something to add to that. Dr. St. Amand does guaifenisen

therapy for fms. Before he used guai, he used medicines that are

used for gout patients. Gout patients have too much uric acid in

their blood. I find it interesting that a gout med works on

fibromyalgia. Somewhere there is a connection. Anyone with fms

might check out the guai website. I tried it about 6 months before

I got really sick. aT first I thought I was reacting to the guai as

it produces herxes also. I realize now that I was just getting very

sick from implants. Someday I intend to do the guai again as they

are getting some amazing results. but i have trouble eliminating

toxins so at this point I can't handle it.

I have already had this test for uric acid and the tests were all

negative, so I curious if this is something that does or does not

show up in a regular blood test. Why would I only have the pain in my

heels an no where else, and why would the steroid injections have

worked so well if it were uric acid and not inflammation? Anyhow what

exactly does he recomend people do for this problem? That is the key,

since my levels have always been totally normal I don't know what

else to do about it. I cannot go to see him, so I would love to know

what he suggested Daryl do? Anyhow gosh I have so many emails to

catch up on, as I got home yesterday from a white water rafting trip

in the Salmon Idaho river OH MAN IT WAS PRETTY, like absoultely

gorgeous, and I was thinking of all of you.

I am sure that you know if steroids worked, it is some kind of

inflammation. What is you SED rate? Have you done other markers for

inflammation. I had a high SED rate when I first was explanted, but it is

gone now, completely normal.

Yes Lynda steroid injections worked once but I don't want to do them

again. I have totally normal blood tests though at one time I had a

very high ANA. I feel totally normal except when I take calcium I end

up with this spur thing in my wrist that kills, when I stop the ca it

goes away, so I know for a fact I do not absorb calcium properly.

My sed rate has always been normal, just the ana was high, it has

been normal since then.My heels go back and forth and at times do not

hurt, also it depends on the shoes I wear etc.

,

welcome back. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

Can't wait to see you new look.

We saw the uric acid on the live blood cell test. It looks like

sharp edged orange/yellow glowing stuff in the blood. Cool looking,

but because it's sharp edged when it flows through out the body with

in the blood it makes tiny tares along the way. Or something like

that. And yes it is gout. I will find out if there is something for

it. But your post made me remember something. My father gets gout

in his foot. Yes he had uric acid in his blood to but not very much,

when he was tested. I remember that I told a friend of mine that he

was suffering with gout awhile back and she told me to tell him to

stay away from vitimine C and Calcium, that it would make it worse.

I told my dad that but never really got anymore info from her. She

said she had learned that along time ago in one of her college

class's. I will try to find out more from Dr. Brodsky.

I do remember Jim telling my dad there was something he could take,

but he doen't get it very oven and decided not to take anything for

it.

Interesting, . What form of calcium do you take?

Have you tried coral calcium, as many absorb that better and it contains

minerals.
