Re: reply to Debbie

[Guest guest]

Hugs to you! My heart goes out to the young mothers trying to raise

children with these auto-immune conditions. A chiroproactor I saw

for a little while told me the pregnancy brought on the RA. I don't

know if this can be true for you or not. And she said my daughter

was vaccined damaged which caused her special needs.. I will never

know the answer to that one. However, I know it is tough being a mom

all by itself without all of the added extras like special needs and

a mom in chronic pain. I have heard a high protein / low carbs diet

helps fibro patients. Probably not the atkins thing but maybe a

little of that mixed in. I just can't see how all of that meat is

good for anyone. I know warm-water therapy is great for physical

disabilities, staying active when not in a flare is important.

Staying stress free as much as possible. Take lots of breaks, hire a

babysitter for some " me " time, etc. I know a person who loved her

Neurontin medication for the fibro but can't vouch for it myself. I

tried Mobic and heard it is good for fibro also. It helped the RA

with pain, just made me lightheaded but doesn't do that to everyone.

wish you and the babies the best.

take care,

Ebony
