My Dr. put down on the diagnosis that I have PA and RA, and one time he just

put that I have inflamatory arthritis. I've been taking Enbrel since January

and can't tell you enough how much it has changed my life. Yes I still have

bad days often, but it's not like it was, it use to be everyday!

My Dr. said I tested a VERY minimal amt for RA, but I still tested for it, so

presto, I'm on Enbrel and loving it!

Angera-

Last year I took the flu shot and didn't have any problems. I have PA and

high blood pressure. I didn't get the flu either.

I just took my flu shot yesterday, and so far so good, haven't had any

problems. Of course I know the flu shot is different from year to year so

I'm kinda worried now. How long did it take you before you started feeling

bad?

Hope your feeling better today! My fingers are crossed!

I had the same problem. My jaw has been killing me for a while. My Rheumy

sent me to an oral surgeon. He in turn sent me to a Dentist. The Dentist

turned out not be on my insurance, which my oral surgeon said he was. I was

referred to the Dentist the same day so I couldn't check on it myself.

The Dentist wanted to make a hard splint for me to wear all day everyday for

3 months. The only time I could take it out was to eat and brush my teeth.

Well the splint would have cost over $300 so I didn't do it. But the Dr.

also told me I would have to have a surgery on my jaw if I didn't get the

hard splint or if I got the hard splint and it didn't help.

It's been a few months now and my jaw aches, but I haven't gotten the hard

splint and plan to avoid the surgery at ALL COSTS! :-)

Annette...thanks so much for the welcome, and the good words on the

divorce. I hope it gets behind me soon too...

Angera...I get a flu shot every year...and thoroughly believe in them.

Have NOT had the flu or a cold during the winter since I have been

having them. SO sorry you were sick, maybe you are allergic to something

in the shot????? I went to get mine and they didn't have the " stuff "

yet...geesh.

le..same here. I had indicators of RA and PA so my doctor made the

diagnosis of both. I have had 2 other doctors agree. I was even told it was

not uncommon to have more than one immune system disorder. This allowed me

to take the Enbrel beginning last March...but I have very recently stopped

because I am one of the ones they categorize as a " non-responder " . Many

people like you have had great results...how wonderful for you. I hope your

improvement is sustained ...good luck.

I am new to this list. I joined because I teach fourth grade and I

this and feel as though the symptoms match his. Can anyone on this list

give me more info - tell me about their own experiences. Is there any

medication for Aspergers?

He loves coming over for math by the way, and is very bright.

OK, so what is the error in the schematic? Where is the correction

You might try having the psychiatrist say he needs one on one, and the best way

to provide that would be having a therapeutic aide teach him in the home. I

originally asked for a TA, thinking that's what I needed. But I was looking for

someone to help me with the behaviors, not teach him, which is what a TA does.

I got the intensive home therapy instead.

[Guest guest]

Loriann,

Thank you for info. Josiah did have a psychiatrist when we got him

diagnosed. His IQ, (according to the tests) was at 45. It seems like so

much to get ready for before the school year starts, so, I must get on it

right away. Maybe I can get something that permit us to keep him at

home, since I can't stand the Special Ed. teacher (if that's what you

would call her) that is a head of the program where he went last year.

She spends absolutely no time with him and the associates keep quitting,

so, she has to keep training them when she could be spending her time

with Josiah. If she doesn't want to do it bad enough, I wouldn't want to

make her, then, she would take it out on Josiah and I DON'T want that.

You gave lots of good ideas to get me going.

Hi Connie,

One more thing you might try and do, ask the drug companies

who make the drugs you wouldn't believe how much they do give to people who

just can't afford it, I got my combo feel for 6 months. The only bad thing is

they want all your information, but both my husband and I work, and I was

approved. I think you would still need a doctor to tell them how much pain

meds you would need, I am sure they will help. Just have to find out the

makers Of the medicine and call. Most doctors do know how to get in touch

with them. If all else fails go to your local clicic. There is no reason in

this time and age that any one should have to suffer in pain. Let me know how

you make out.

[Guest guest]

Hi I have an e mail if you want it, to be a volunteer

to hook people up with the Manufacturers of the drugs.

I can get stuff through that probably. Also Schering

Plough I think it is their name will furnish the Combo

through Commitment To Care. But, what I need is the

Labs and a DR to follow me...I have personally thought

about doing the program to help others in this area.

I have 2 places so far that I can help people get the

drugs they need (Catholic Church outreach program and

Life Changers). It goes by your income and also it

handles 3rd party scripts. I am going to see these 2

places Friday, in the meantime I am wrestling with my

printer so I can print out some application forms and

info to take with me.............Connie

Dear Angel,

If you do a google on woodash lye water you would be overwhelmed.

Throughout the centuries, each culture has used lye water in many ways. The

mexicans and indians of central america have used it to soak corn for

hominy. . . . it is used in tanning leathers. . . used in soap making. . .

..dye setting. . . .I think the chinese use it for cleaning and soaking

certain legumes and veggies. . . It is always diluted when used for

cleaning. I use it in a spray bottle and wash my hands after using it. It

is caustic, so one is careful about getting it on the skin or in the eyes

full-strength. Yes, it cuts grease, and rinses off very easily.

Go to Dom's site to his cleaning suggestions and he has all you need to know

for this simple application of washing fermentation supplies.
