Thanks for the welcome.

I went off avonex a year ago in december, and switched to Rebif at

that time.

I really have no problem with the rebif, I just wonder if it is

WORKING.??

If this is slowing progression, then I am just a freaking mess!

It is good to hear that you are having success with the LDN!

Thank you for the response, I love to hear that something is working

for SOMEONE!!

Yellow can mean liver stress. Green can mean liver stress or food

intolerance. Frothy meant yeast overgrowth at my house.

Digestive enzymes are usually very helpful. Other supplements also

help with digestion.

Hi Ken

Malabsorption can affect the supplements she is taking. Enzymedica

makes the number one selling digestive enzyme. She can take one with

each of her meals for better digestion and absorption of the

nutrients in her foods. But then we also make two products that may

help her with better absorption of her supplements depending on what

she is taking. Vitamin Mineral Optimize (VMO) contains 5 mg of

Bioperine and 13 enzymes known to assist with healthy digestion and

assimilation. The potency is specific for supplemental vitamin,

mineral and herb absorption when taken on an empty stomach. There is

also another product called EFA Optimize for essential fatty acids.

If you would like a sample of any of these products just let me know.

Feel free to ask me any questions.

Hello all. I am Steve and I was diagnosed in June 09 with RA. This has been the

latest in a series of medical issues that have plagued me for the last several

years. I was told 8 years ago that I needed both knees replaced. I went on a

weight loss program and the problem disappeared. I have had 3 knee surgeries and

3 fusions (2 cervical and 1 lumbar), prostate cancer, and now RA. I have tried

to roll with the punches, but everything is starting to wear out my enthusiasm.

I try to encourage people (I am a pastor) and can give advice to people dealing

with cancer, Alzheimer's, and now RA. I am not up to speed on the treatments,

but I am learning. Currently take methotrexate and folic acid. Weather changes

kill me and I cannot sit for long periods of time. My pain is in my hands, feet,

and back.

A question I have is this: If glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM are allegedly

good for joint health, would it possibly help with the RA or could it counter

act the methotrexate and folic acid?

Thanks for any help.

Hi...

I take glucosamine every day, I believe it helps but as with much of RA it takes

a while to " feel " any changes. By the time you get there you're rally not sure

if it's really doing anything. The others I do not take. However, I was told by

my former rhematologist the MTX depletes vitamin D so I take that as well, and

it did improve on my blood tests results. Folic acid is a given by most

rheumatologist . Fish oil as been the one thing I do take that made a noticeable

difference, I recommend it to everyone. Hope this helps.
