I am the opposite....my hot tub works wonders for me. I do exercises in it

which helps me get moving and it really relaxes me which is a major help.

Lucy,

I was put on prednisone when my hand and wrist pain began and in 48 hours I

was calling my doctor trying to explain my " bizarre feelings " . The nurse

immediately said, Does it feel like you are outside your body trying to

crawl back in?, well the answer was yes, if words had to describe the

feeling, that would do it! I agree, pain was worse. Actually, my body did

react OK to a much smaller dose but it only bought me time until the pain

returned and I found my way to a rummy that diagnoised me with RA and have

experienced the pains change paths through out my joints. My RA meds have

helped and am doing better. All of us react so differently to meds that one

never knows.

Subject: RA and tendonitis

Hello all. Hopefully you all can help me.

I am 44. I was diagnosed with RA about 4 years ago by a

Rheumatologist to whom I had gone because of finger stiffness and

soreness. After about six months the problem let up. Sixteen months

ago I had a baby. Thirteen months ago my entire arms from the tips

of my fingers thru the shoulders started aching painfully every day.

Other joints (knees, etc.) ached as well but not consistently. My

sister and brother take MSM for arthritis (car accidents) so I

started that. It helped me be almost painfree except for my elbows.

My Family doc diagnosed elbow tendonitis. Now it is 13 months later

and the elbows are getting progressively worse. I cannot pinpoint

any activity to blame for tendonitis. Therapy and exercise cause

more pain and swelling. I am seeing another Orthopedic Specialist

tomorrow. Here is my question. Does anyone in this group think my

elbow tendonitis could be related to my RA? My Family doc says " no " .

Thanks for your time.

Lucy

Subject: help

Hello. I'm new here and hope I can get some info.

I have been seeing an ortho doc for about 7 years for pain in my

hands and wrists. He has hinted at RA, but won't confirm the dx. I

have seen a rheumy, who did nothing for me but slap me on some

celebrex and that's it. I have basically been dealing with the daily

aches and pains up until the last 6 months or so. My pain is mainly

right sided (knee,ankle) severe in my wrist. Ortho doc has done an

MRI which showed a lot of fluid between all the bones in my wrist. My

sed rate was elevated (68) but the rheumatiod factor is still

negative.

I am at a breaking point. I am only 34, have two children, a great

job, and in otherwise great health. I have always been a very upbeat,

active person, but I have been VERY down, and VERY tired. I don't

know what to do now. I have another appointment this Friday with the

ortho doc (he did the same blood tests again.). If anyone has any

advise I could really use it.

Thank you so much.

Chris

I have tendonitis in both shoulders and my rheumatologist told me that it

isn't related, as in " caused by " RA, but that many people who have RA

develop tendonitis in different areas.

Tess,

Thanks for your reply. Will await those interesting vco cures.

I've read in one of my google " researches " that coconut water applied to the eye

can remove cataracts, or give better vision. I don't have any cataracts but do

wear glasses, and yesterday i applied coconut water into my eyes and immediately

followed it with a hot towel compress. I repeated this ritual whenever the

towel's temperature lowered for ten minutes. It felt a teeny weeny stingy but

quickly disappeared. And I can say that it is safe enough to do as I can still

email you guys about it. It removed the pain in my eyeballs which i had for

three days. My vision slightly improved but not that great. One has to do this

ritual for two weeks. So i shall continue and keep you posted.

Dear melly and everyone else,

Yes I will do that. By the way, Dr. Bruce and were able to meet the HIV

patient as well as the one who has a MYOMA. In fact they have heard the

stories of others too who attributes VCO to having cured them from their

ailments. Bruce and were in the Philippines for 13 days, meeting with

VCO producers, visiting VCO plants and manufacturers, coconut farmers and

scientists, medical practitioners, Coconut Industry executives and friends.

Will get back to you guys with my stories.

++>Thanks Marc I'll look into this.

There are other seaweed/aloe vera products sold in health food stores

or online (e.g., Sea Energy), so it's possible these may be as good

for you, but of the ones I've tried, none were as good as Seasilver.

I think this is because they've done something to it which lowers the

surface tension, which increases absorption (it also doesn't need

to be shaken up before use, which is unique and must also be related

to this processing)

>>>By the way, if Seasilver is too difficult to get, here are

some other things I've found useful to keep the thrush

under control (but it's never gone away completely yet):

Thanks for list of supplements. I will look into SBO's and Custom

Probiotics. Iused to be too allergic any bacteria to take any form of

probiotics as it would trigger an allergic reaction in my stomach. However

I'm doing better and find I can tolerate probiotics now. Can't tolerate

Grapfruit seed extract since its citrus. Thanks for all the links.

Best Wishes

Probiotics -- fight off the bad yeast/bacteria with good

bacteria. Seems like the higher-potency probiotics work

better in general. The highest potency one I've found

(and the one I still have in my fridge) are from

Custom Probiotics:

http://customprobiotics.com/

The founder of this company had chronic candida, and

believes the only way to overcome it is by massive

amounts of probiotics. The dosage I took was 200 billion

organism a day, which is about 100 times more than

what you'll find at the brands in the health food store.

Soil Based Organisms -- there is a class of good bacteria

which is not normally found in the human digestive tract,

but nonetheless it loves to feed on candida and wipe it

out. There are a variety of products out there, but the

one I've been using (and is easy to find in the health

food stores) is Primal Defense:

http://gardenoflife.com/detail_primal_defense.shtml

Citrus (Grapefruit) Seed Extract -- said she

had problems with citrus, although I'm not sure that

citrus *seeds* are the same thing as eating citrus.

I know that in my own case, eating oranges makes

my ES worse, however, citrus seed extract seems fine.

The best product I've used for this is Agrisept-L, which

is an MLM product but is also something that I never

develop a sensitivity to (unlike the store brand " GSE " ):

http://www.aragonproducts.com/theproducts.cfm?master=6521 & owner=694

With all of the above, it would be wise to start with

small amounts (to prevent a massive die-off) and build

up to the recommended dosage (or whatever dosage you

find works best for you)
