Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a few days, but I just had my injection of MTX and for some reason the whole next 24 hours I have a pretty bad flare up. Fortunately, I am usually better by day 3 and continue to improve throughout the week. I read in one of the notices that Pat was taking MTX and had to stop after they increased it because of a bad reaction. What kind of reaction did you have? How do you know when you are not tolerating it? Also, I hear so many people talking about ARAVA. Is this some kind of drug still in the testing phase? What is it and how does one access it? I am also curious to see how everyone is doing with the remicade. I know we have a few members slated to start it. Hope everyone's experiencing the same fall like sunshine we have here. For some reason the sunshine always makes me feel less vulnerable to this disease!! Last night my five year old daughter made me a " get well card " . The entire text read " Mom you can do it! " , over and over again. If that isn't motivation I don't know what is! Healthful thoughts your way, Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2000 Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 Hi Theresa, You can find information about Arava on the list's website http://rheumatoid.arthritis.freehosting.net/Drugs%20 & %20testing.htm It is an approved RA drug and many people are responding well to it. Unfortunately we are getting the rains from the tail end of a hurricane, so the sunshine is not here. Enjoy it and feel good! Your daughter is very special. a ----- Original Message ----- From: <tmgoley@...> < egroups> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 1:16 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Digest Number 1290 > > Hi everyone! > > Sorry I haven't written in a few days, but I just had my injection of MTX and > for some reason the whole next 24 hours I have a pretty bad flare up. > Fortunately, I am usually better by day 3 and continue to improve throughout > the week.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Hi Carol! Geoff Crenshaw here. ------- Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 10:09:51 -0400 From: Robbie <feralelf@...> Subject: Dehydration Be careful if you try to re-hydrate on your own. Don't overload with plain water, you can further upset your electrolyte balance. Get some Gatorade (nasty stuff, I know) or Pedialite. You should see your doctor. Dehydration related to conditions or meds like ours can be very serious. ------- Robbie's right in cautioning about rehydrating severe dehydration and advising the use of something other than simply plain water. Sorry I forgot that. For those in the area I'm in, where 100ºF+ weather is very common, the gov't also requires salt tabs in the vicinity of all workers, along with water, etc. Here is another common form of rehydration that may be of help... Drink that first glass of water, then take ONE ONLY buffered salt tablet with the second glass, then drink the 3rd and possibly 4th glass. Repeat as advised before. You can use the salt tab safely on the second series too, but you shouldn't need it after that. So if you are rehydrating with a series of 3 or 4 sets of 4 glasses of water, you will only use 2 salt tabs total. (I know it sounds like an incredible amount of water. It is.) I differ with Robbie re: Gatorade® as it is intentionally over loaded with sugars. Gatorade® is geared toward keeping your fluids up during high-load activity. The sugars are there to provide quick energy. Here, we see that Gatorade® creates exacerbates the dehydration when used to rehydrate after getting dehydrated, especially in a sedentary setting. In a case where the fluids are already down, the sugar becomes a major problem. We agree on Pedialyte®. However, electrolyte solutions do not have to be purchased ready-made (as in Pedialyte®, which tends to be quite expensive and expires.) In essence, if you take a buffered salt tablet (OTC at most any drug store) and drink water as above, you are creating the electrolyte soln on-the-fly, in the gut, in a close-to-natural environment as in when you eat potassium-rich foods, drink water, etc. The buffered salt tabs tends to be easier on people as regular ones can create a rather nasty upset stomach. One bottle may last several years as once one has been through the dehydration cycle, they tend to be very wary in the future. HTH!

Our doc did a whole lot of investigation on the mercury issue and said that Sam's Club and Costco brands are just fine. A month's supply is $7.00. She recommends Charlie take 9 to 12 grams (12,000mg) per day to get the effective EPA and DHA levels. So, he gets 3 gelcaps three or four times a day. See the work of Dr Stoller (I think). Some people can successfully convert the fatty acids in flaxseed oil to EPA and DHA (I can't). Flaxseed oil needs to be mixed into yoghurt (plain) or cottage cheese for the necessary amino acids to activate it. We call this Charlie's good stuff... and he loves it.

Or a drop on a piece of tissue tucked in a breast pocket of a shirt or bra. Another way to effectively use essential oil of Lavendar is to mix about 6 to 8 drops into some bubblebath to emulsify it and then add it to bath water.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 In a message dated 07/10/2005 2:34:46 AM Pacific Daylight Time, Scoliosis Treatment writes: Me, I'm too shy to get up in public....you must be gutsy!!! Dear , Public speaking is a gift from having scoliosis. It has given me a voice as it has given you to express mysefl. As a teen I discovered humor could be powerful, so does having the ablitity to speak in public. To command positive attention to my words instead of my looks is my high. Maybe that's helped me to not dwell on Why Me syndome. I believe Each of us goes through the 5 stages of grief that beth Kubler-Ross wrote about but for us it's the grief of having an obvious physical deformity. Denial is the first stage (some of our mothers dealt with our scoli this way), anger (some of us are stuck here), bargaining , depression, and acceptance. The stages can be mixed up. I believe that anyone going through a tramatic development in their lives goes through some of these stages but they all don't make it to the last one. P.S. Patty, I've often believed that pot might help with our pain. But I've never tried...now I'd be too scared I'd get caught in the witchunt by the feds. I do use heat many times daily with microwavable rice pads I can wear (velcro), ice packs, and myofascial release. Those help a lot at least for a while. Eliz Mina is famous on this board for us oldtimers. She used to participate here and had a real gift for writing about our disease. I miss her and if anyone is still in touch with her please send my regards. She was the first one I'd ever met online that researched and wrote extensively about scoliosis. I read each line while crying. Yes, as someone wrote in the last posts, to connect with others like us is a spark in a dark universe. A coping tool I use, btw, is to cut out articles in newspapers and magazines or print messages here that are examples of courageous people. I keep these in a special folder I use for inspriation when I'm down and feeling poor me vibes. It helps me to deal with my grief and gives me hope. Hope is so essential.

I am a very shy person but for this cause I just did what had to be done to support the legislation which was patroned by my local delegate at my request. If they had school screening maybe my son would have been diagnosed early enough for bracing to have worked. We'll never know about that but advocating for the other children in VA became my mission. It was an incredible experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hi, sorry to hear about this problem. I have been on Enbrel for 6 monthsand have gotten a great effect from it. (USpA). I had this problem and asked the company----got the same answer. I was told to go ahead and use it, though. I ended up using the product because of lack of money to replace it, and suffered no ill effects. I did not notice any reduction in activity as measured by my own subjective response, as well as swelling in some hand joints (tends to increase if I omit a does, which I have done twice). Subsequently I heard from a scientist who worked on the research on the drug that the most likely issue if it got left out would be reduced activity. BTW I live in Seattle where the drug was invented and developed so there are people in the community who used to work for Immunex. That is how I made this connection. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 , Our facility would not recommend or support your patient for bariatric surgery either. We do decline to recommend for surgical candidacy in our dietitian evaluation component for patients exhibiting emotional challenges, unwilling to embrace change, unwilling or unable to process complex concepts such as required for the dietary modification, etc. We always conference call the MD and discuss the case so we are all on the same page.

She was willing to try soy protein, but when she went to purchase soy protein, the person at the store told her not to use soy protein because it would interact with her thyroid??

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 In a message dated 4/10/2007 9:57:54 AM Eastern Daylight Time, iodine writes: Yes, coconut oil mixed with iodine makes it possible for me to apply iodine topically to the chest area without burning/dry skin. I don't know how the oil affects the absorption though. I can't even do iodine patch tests with tincture on my legs because of getting iodine burns (still have marks a month later). Nina Thanks, Nina. I'll give it a try. I don't know why i didn't think of this earlier, since i use coconut oil on a daily basis.
