Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Dear Friends, On Friday I did go to the Neurological Hospital, and found out that it was on the year 2000 I have done a DNA test, they had on my files that I am Type 1A. The doctor also told me that I do have another gift, a syndrome called Elher's Danlos...that is why I have a bad double joints too...I do remember thatI have done a biopsia a long time ago regarding this, but I am not 100% sure if I do have this syndrome. I will try to have another DNA test in Brazil next year if it is possible. I was talking about the pain I feel on my hips and also regarding some supplements I am taking etc. well, I have to say that I almost had an argument with my doctor regarding supplements and others issues. He does not agree on supplements, think that they are not approved by FDA and therefore we should not take it. Drugs like painkillers, steroids, Neurontin, etc...those are ok...no problem! I then decided not say anymore a thing..did not see the point. He though I am very well, yes, I can walk, but he did not know how much...and he does not feel what I feel inside anyway. I will continue to do my exercises and take my supplements and hope very soon I will do some further blood test. I feel very frustrated for the fact that I am not a doctor, and yet, I am the one that have to ask to be check for this and that like arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc, anaemia, etc. I also ask him to see an orthotics and a physiotherapist, but if I did not ask a thing, everything would be just fine " see you in 9 months time " , that is just the way here! Have a Great Day Everyone!!! Joana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
