Guest guest Posted September 16, 1998 Report Share Posted September 16, 1998 I cannot prove it directly, but it is my belief that fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are both related to endocrinology problems -- possibly with auto immune implications. Another point: When my thyroid went " haywire " in 1995, I also developed transient hypertension (BP was 120/80 before thyroid inflammation and went to 140/90+ after the inflammation supposedly ceased). With chelation therapy, I got my low end back to around 80 but the high end still surges to between 110 and 150. The thyroid area around my neck occasionally gets a " hot " feeling and I have difficulty adjusting to heat and cold. The nerves in my back are constantly irritated (like a sun burn), but cordaid or menthol and exercise (tennis/a long walk) will relieve the irritation for a few hours at a time. While I have not become an exercise nut, I do a lot more exercise just to keep relaxed. ______________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 1998 Report Share Posted September 17, 1998 Hi folks, About copper and arthritis. I have a friend who swears by Cat's Claw. She is in her eighties and I send her several months supply at a time.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 1998 Report Share Posted September 17, 1998 Dear , I don't know if this info is any good but I suppose every little bit helps. I had an aunt who had her Thyroid removed when she was in her early 40's. She developed arthritis a few years later and swore that the only relief she ever got was from a copper bracelet she wore on her wrists. She was so pleased with it that she wore a slimmer one on her ankle. She developed Diabetes later in life (in her 60's I think.) I had to discontinue my copper/zinc/cal./mag/kelp as I just recently had a serious Thyroid storm and am under very strict supervision for a while. When I escape this attention, I will be back to our schedule. Good luck everyone, Liz ______________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
