Hi again,Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you all. I was off work for a few days. My chiropractor did a computer test on me using some program called Bio Meridian. It tests all your organs to see what areas are in trouble. It is non invasive and just uses some electrodes hooked on your acupressure points (something like that). From those results the computer then makes suggestions as to what supplements I needed. She can use this program with any line of supplements but likes the Standard Process the best. Anyway, I am on Thymus, Cataplex A and I think B, Drenamin (adrenals), BetaFood (liver) and 2 digestive enzymes. She is my pastors wife so I thought I would try it. It has been six weeks now and I am a new person. I danced for 3 hours straight on New Years Eve and swam the next day! I usually have to lie down for a few days after the dances. I watercolor everyday now and my

concentration amazes me. I am not even herxing as bad as I was so the sleep is better. This is truly a miracle. I have tried a million different products to get the energy levels up and this is the only thing that has worked. You can buy it online but it is better to see a professional I think.Other than that all is well. I keep going foward. I broke up with the boyfriend which was a good thing. It is better to be single right now and not burden anyone with my healing process. I can say that I finally have hope and a brain cell too!Happy New Year!Love, Joanne

I did BioMeridian Stress Assessments a whole year before I realized it was my implants making me sick. My kinesiologist adjusted my suppliments by using the results of this test. It seemed I got better in some areas,and not in others. However because I still had my implants I was still going down hill especially in my muscles and joints. Then after my explant, this Dr. had gone to South Dakota. I haven't found another in my area that uses this type of testing. My kinesiologist also used Standard Process suppliments. joanne_321321 <joanne_321321@...> wrote: Hi again,Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you all. I was off work for a few days.

Leonie,

I take a multiple vit, potassium, vit d, B-12, and folic. I just

started caltrate, which I believe is helping. I am wanting to add a few

other ones, but just haven't been to the store. Tawny

Both my wife and I take a multivitamin, vitamins b, c, e, calcium- 1200 mg.

I also take a fiber cap, stool softener, and iron. Betty had her bloodwork

results and has to quit taking one calcium tab, it's too much for her. I'm

still dropping my Prednisone slowly.

Leonie,

Since we've chatted, you know I do. I take 2000mg/day of salmon oil,

about 1500mg each of glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM, 1000mg of a

calcium/magnesium/zinc blend and 1200mg. of ibuprofen a day (only

with a large glass of milk or a meal to lower the risk of stomach

problems). That's it so far. I have no other medications. I'm

still weighing in the debate of DMARDs.

Hi-  My name is Pat and I live in Minnesota in the twincities.  I have been

lurking for quite awhile.   I love  reading each post so I have them all

deliverd.   I have had Arthritis since 86 and started on anti imflamitory drugs

til I could get to the specialist.   Back then I was started out on Methotrexate

pills.  I don't remeber  how many or anything but do rember that when  the

specialist I was seeing left .  I asked My doctor for a refereal to another. 

   I went to see this doctor he was older and I didn't feel comfortable with

what he was telling Me.  I remeber seeing him but also remeber talking with his

nurse and not being able to convice the nurse I needed to see the doctor on the

phone.  I rember not trusting her to know what I needed and she telling Me the

doctor did not need to see Me. So I told My doctor and  I ended doing some

reasearch on where I could go.  The doctor I had before was good but I would be

seeing him out of My insurance coverage so I looked at the other doctor in that

office  and asked for a referral to him.  I have been very pleased with his

services thru the years I have been seeing him since I went back to that

office.  

   I am on enbrel for My second time .  I was on it for 6 months a number of

years ago when I was on medicade for 6 months cause of the amount of medical

bills I was facing.  I was also off of it while having pneumonia last fall and

had to wait until I was well before startring back on it.  I have had a very

good experience with it and hope it continues  It was good the first time I was

on it and continuesd to work and have had the best health I have had in awhile.

   While on methoxrxate I had a number of Medical problems and was on and off it

for many years. and went from pills to injections but could not afford to go on

enbrel until medicare covered drugs and I had additional finacial help from

foundations which My doctor helped Me find and get on. 

  I have a number of Medical Problems  so My case tends to get complicated .  I

have rehemitoid psyorathic arthritis, gout, high blood pressure, diabetes.   I

also have lost hairfrom Methotrexate  which is thin and baby fine to begin

with.  I have had a stroke and at one point had  congestive heart faliure and 

had very low hemaglobin  at least twice.   I have been in the hosital for all

these things as well as have been   in for 2 or 3 other times  for infections

that caused to My kidneys to shut down.

   I will give you My entire list of Meds and vitamins that I take:

ebrel50mg. SR CLK

novolog 10units+sliding scale 2 times daily

novolin 20 units 2 times daily

asprin 325mg 1 daily

amitriptylin 25mg 1 at bedtime

carbamazepin (tegretol)200mg 2 daily

lisinopril 20mg 1 daily   

furosemide 40mg  1 daily

metoprolol 50mg 1 daily

allopurinol 300mg 1 daily

keroconazole shampoo as needed

indomrthacin 50mg up to 3 a day as needed for gout (not using right now)

prop-n/apap100/650pink qua 1 every 6 hours as needed for pain  (not using right 

now )

nystatin powder as need up to 3 times daily

fish oil 100mg 1 daily

folic acid 400mcg 1 daily (even though not on methotrxate)

cranberry triple strength concentrate w/c 1 daily

b6 100mg 1 daily

c 500mg 1 daily

chromium picolinate 200mcg 2 daily

 I know it a long list but It seems to work for Me.  I use to take E but decided

that fish oil was better and replaced it.

        Thanks,

 

                              Pat

Hi Pat & group !

I also lurk here..

Pat, what caused em to write back this post is one of the drugs you take. That

is ' allopurinol 300mg 1 daily' I assume you are taking it for gout.? My

husband gets kidney stones and has also had gout and was taking that drug for

years. He was also on prednisone for over 10 years due to krohn's Disease....In

2003, he was dx'd with cirrhosis of the liver. I read up on all the drugs he

was on at that time and he had already been off of prednisone for a few years,

but was still taking allipurinol. I read it can cause cirrhosis and called his

doc. He was taken off it and the other remedy was 4 ounces of lemon juice daily.

He could take it anyway he wanted. . At that time the UW wanted him to have a

liver transplant. Since taking the lemon juice, he has had no problems with the

gout and the kidney stones have been rare. Please do not think I want to alarm

you or anyone, but to inform you. The lemon juice also cleans the liver.

I have RA and only take mainly supplements. I did prednisone for a few days a

year ago. And sometimes I take a Naproxin. I take Flaxseed Oil, Fish Oil,

Glucosimine, Zinc, Folic Acid, MSM, Vit D and other multiple vitamins.

I rarely post as at times I feel I do not belong as I rarely have a flare and

when I do, it is not bad. .Like others, I find that when I do milk products and

pasta, etc., I ache...

I feel so bad for you that are in such pain. I pray for you all. The new moms

are special. I am 56 years old and have two adopted kids age 8 & age 3. My 8 yr

old has brain damage from being shaken as an infant and Autism. My 3 yr old is

typical and is always pulling my hands. My fingers hurt then. I know it must be

painful not being able to cope with the pain. I long to swing my daughter, but I

can't..

Thank you for reading my post..

[Guest guest]

,

You do belong and have things to add. I enjoyed your post about your

two children. How wonderful for them to have you!

Honey, I pray things will improve for your 8 yr old. I just don't

understand how people could harm children. There were times I

thought I might lose it with my babies but my thoughts would have

been to hurt myself and not them.

How is your hubby's cirrhosis? Has his liver improved also? I will

remember your family in my prayers also.

Pat,

Welcome to the group. I am so sorry that you have had so many

problems.

Oh Honey, I read that list and wondered, " How on earth does she keep

up with it? " I don't think I could keep all of those meds striaght.

God Bless,

Shirley

have been lurking for quite awhile.   I love  reading each post so I

have them all deliverd.   I have had Arthritis since 86 and started

on anti imflamitory drugs til I could get to the specialist.   Back

then I was started out on Methotrexate pills.  I don't remeber  how

many or anything but do rember that when  the specialist I was

seeing left .  I asked My doctor for a refereal to another. 

>    I went to see this doctor he was older and I didn't feel

comfortable with what he was telling Me.  I remeber seeing him but

also remeber talking with his nurse and not being able to convice

the nurse I needed to see the doctor on the phone.  I rember not

trusting her to know what I needed and she telling Me the doctor did

not need to see Me. So I told My doctor and  I ended doing some

reasearch on where I could go.  The doctor I had before was good but

I would be seeing him out of My insurance coverage so I looked at

the other doctor in that office  and asked for a referral to him.  I

have been very pleased with his services thru the years I have been

seeing him since I went back to that office.  

>    I am on enbrel for My second time .  I was on it for 6 months a

number of years ago when I was on medicade for 6 months cause of the

amount of medical bills I was facing.  I was also off of it while

having pneumonia last fall and had to wait until I was well before

startring back on it.  I have had a very good experience with it and

hope it continues  It was good the first time I was on it and

continuesd to work and have had the best health I have had in awhile.

>    While on methoxrxate I had a number of Medical problems and was

on and off it for many years. and went from pills to injections but

could not afford to go on enbrel until medicare covered drugs and I

had additional finacial help from foundations which My doctor helped

Me find and get on. 

>   I have a number of Medical Problems  so My case tends to get

complicated .  I have rehemitoid psyorathic arthritis, gout, high

blood pressure, diabetes.   I also have lost hairfrom

Methotrexate  which is thin and baby fine to begin with.  I have had

a stroke and at one point had  congestive heart faliure and  had

very low hemaglobin  at least twice.   I have been in the hosital

for all these things as well as have been   in for 2 or 3 other

times  for infections that caused to My kidneys to shut down.
