Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 teeterstephanie- When my Rhummy sent me for all the blood work my RA factor came back negative, however he siad that he was sure it was RA. He sent me for an MRI of my hands and sure as the day is long, it showed RA big time. SO the blood test aren't always 100%.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi , I think you should try the Tetracycline just to see if it helps... make sure you take a good dose of probiotics after the antibiotics so you dont get candida. If you need more info on that subject-let me know.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Dear Chery, I know you are relieved to get your appointment to see Dr. Lipton. I hear he is one of the best in all of Canada, so you should be pleased that you were able to schedule an appointment with him. We wish you all the best and I'm sure you will report back what your experience was like there. Hands & hearts, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
