Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Beck To homemade yoghurt or plain nonfar yoghurt with live acidophilus about 1/2 cip, mix in 1T flaxseed oil and 1T ground flaxseed thoroughly. If you want, add some fresh fruit. Eat this three or more times a day to increase omega3 fatty acids. My homemade yoghurt 3 cups non fat dry milk 7 cups water a couple of spoonsfull or the last batch of yoghurt Mix all in a non reactive container and place in a spot where it will stay at about 105 degrees F for several hours. Sometimes I use a thermostatically controlled crock pot where I know to set the dial. Too hot or cold and the lactobacillus won't do their thing. Sometimes I put it in the oven with just the gas pilot light going. Sometimes I put it outside in the sun. Takes about four to six hours, depending. Easy to make and very nutritious for us. mjh In a message dated 8/24/02 8:47:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time, writes: > Subject: Re: Digest Number 2509 > > mjh, > > Would you please post your yogurt recipe?

I have this Braun model: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004S9GX and it works really well. If I had it to do over I might get a more powerful model that can also handle ice. But for most jobs you'd use a hand blender for, this model does great. ~ Fern > > Sam's Club has a very powerful Braun handblender for about $35.00, a bargain.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi, this is Cinda writing once again about my daughter . She has poly-jra. She is 16, and was diagnosed this last fall. is on Methotrexate, viox, low dose of prednisone and folic acid. She has been on the Methotrexate for 4-5 months now. All the labs had been normal, except this week. The doctor's office called and her liver enzymes were terribly high, and her WBC was very low. Needless to say this scared me to death. I thought it had to be from the methotrexate. They have told us to stop it for now, and repeat labs Monday. Why they are really scaring is, they are talking about another disease the labs could be pointing to. It is called Dermatomyositis. The nurse called in another doctor because 's is on vacation. We are just in another waiting spot. Has anyone heard of this new disease. The nurse said it is extremely rare, and not to look it up until we know something for sure. (yeah right)! Does anyone think this could still be a reaction to Methotrexate? She has still very swollen fingers. But, she has had a lot of headaches and nausea. She also has an eczema rash on her forehead. At times she has had sore arms, and chest pains. Seems worse after Metho dose on Saturday's. We told them at the last visit, but they were not concerned. The doctor thought her range of motions looked good. And the headaches and nausea could be allergies. We go to Dr. Klausmeier in Indy at Riley's. I am getting close to going somewhere else for a second opinion. We were trying to adjust to the Poly. Now they are suggesting yet another thing may be wrong due to the labs this week. I am still hoping it is a reaction to methotrexate. Sorry this is so long. I am sure that you can tell, I am a bit panicked. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi. Sorry to hear about not feeling well. I have heard of this other disease here on the list, I am almost sure. Hopefully someone will post on it. The headaches and nausea are likely side effects of the MTX. That is why we were told should take it on Friday, so that it does not affect him at school - he would have the weekend to recover. Luckily he did not have those side effects, except slight nausea occasionally. His main side effect was mouth sores and tiredness. 's labs could be messed up because of the MTX. When that happens, they usually try a different DMARD. I hope that it is all the meds and not another disease as changing the meds would probably be easier to deal with. About the allergies thing, I have found the drs blame a lot on allergies especially when they can't figure out exactly what is going on. Now it could be allergies as that is an immune system problem too. Good luck and if you feel you need that second opinion, you should get it. If you are not comfortable with whats going on, checking with a different dr might help. He/she might say the same as your current dr or could shed a different light on things. I hope feels better soon. Michele (16,pauci & spondy) Re: Digest Number 2511 Hi, this is Cinda writing once again about my daughter . She has poly-jra.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks for responding. I will let you know what we find out. We are in the waiting phase of more blood tests right now. It seems that is the way it is a lot. I will keep you posted. I do hope it is also just from the meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Barb, Your in luck! We had United Health Care, all meds are covered with a CO-pay, all blood work is covered (ours, 100%), and we only paid a $20 CO-pay for the spect scan. I hope it will be the same for you.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 That's good to know. I just wonder how they will change the policy from how it is now with our present insurance. I guess we'll find out soon. --- Jandjatindy@... wrote: > Barb, Your in luck!
