> 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..
