I was taught to roll the cotton ball in the petroleum jelly as well.

Then I clamped a big puffy washcloth over the ear for good measure, but

the plastic cup sounds good too.

Yeah that would be surprising. My first encounter was 20 years ago when I was 15. I have never had ear aches. I have had drainage occasionally with foul odor. This has happened every few years or so...never had pain (until recently) or any other symptoms. The only reason I went in this time was I had the pain and swelling...I am going to try the plastic cup thing...that sounds like a good idea! No one is going to see me in the shower anyway so at least I won't get laughed at and if it works I am all for it. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.

hi, I was wndering if any of you get really bad achey legs? Mine do this off and on. They have hurt so much this week. It is everything. The muscles, the bones, everything. It feels like how the flu makes your legs ache. I was wondering if this is related to the implants or something else. Thanks

Probably people within the group open the spam mails and then their

For those affected, just clear your browser cache and change your email

Hi, Angel~Re the sleeping thing - that is usually a short term issue, usually a week or less, and I found that taking melatonin in the interim was very helpful. After that first week or so, I've actually found that I sleep much better now than I did before taking LDN!Re the gluten thing - I personally find it easier to avoid gluten by avoiding grains altogether. Then you don't have to deal with the expensive gluten-free products issue, and not only does it stop the gluten-related issues, but it also helps with the yeast issue, since grains are very carb-y and feed the yeasties. It took a while to figure out how to deal with life grain-free, and there was a period of 'withdrawal', but once we caught on to a few tricks and developed an arsenal of 'favorite' recipes, it was surprisingly easy.Good luck, I hope the LDN works well for you!~EileenOn Jun 12, 2010, at 6:38 PM, Angel wrote:

Hi Kitt.  Welcome to our wonderful group.  It stinks that you have RA too.  I

have had it for 6+years.  I have only been off MTX for a 3 week time, and boy

did my RA flare.  I went back on it, and it took about 3 more weeks to finally

feel better, and my flare gone.  Too bad you can't take Pred. successfully.  I

would have no life except for it.

 

I know what you mean about the weather and Barometric pressure.  I had to move

to Florida as I could not tolerate the N.E. weather anymore.  Too much pain and

too many flares.  It was the best thing for me to do.

 

I hope when you get back on MTX you begin to feel better.  Rest as nuch as you

can.

 

Hugs,

 

Barbara

Hello group

 

I read a lot of your posts but do not write much.

 

Here is my story-------

 

I am 55, and have had RA for about 12 years. I started out taking methotrexate,

and was on it for several years, when I went off of it, I was pain free for two

years, I am thinking from the buildup in my body. The pain started up again, and

I have not had much success siince. I moved to Wyoming from North carolina, got

stuck here 9in a snow storm and just sorta stayed. My RA flares, come up when

the weather changes. (barometric pressure?)

 

There is only one dr here for RA and she is a quack. So I have been going to a

GP, who has put me on prednisone for flares, which works great, but has nasty

side effects. Finally he is going to try me on Methotrexate again.

 

Has anyone been off Methotrexate and went back on and if so, did it work again?

 

Has anyone heard of the new " lazer " treatment? I read about it in Remedy........

 

I was on Enbrel for 6 months, with great results however it knocked my immune

system out of whack and I was very sick for a very long time.

 

Depression is part of my life but I am dealing with it better right now.

 

I have no body here as a close friend, so nobody to talk to about all this,,,

Hi Kitt; Welcome to this wonderful group. Sorry for u having. To be here. I

too am greatly affected by the barametric pressure. I can predict the weather

by how I feel. I am only taking plaquinil and Celebrex and darvocet for pain.

I have back pain, knee pain, and wrist pain and have recently developed hip

pain. Nothing makes you pain free but we just try to get along. This is a

great group of caring people.

Gentle hugs

Mike,I don't train to get rid of tinnitus, but it often goes away with training.  There is tinnitus related to nerve damage, which NF doesn't help with, and tinnitus related to stress, which it often resolves.

Also, regardless of what it says on the bottle, you can take up to 15mg

of melatonin for sleep.  If by chance you wake up groggy after taking

melatonin, just go outside and look up at the sun for a second or two

and you will actually burn it out of your system.On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 10:04 PM, Eileen <ravensegge@...> wrote:

I frequently order from Swanson's and appreciate their prices and

connection to Swanson's). The quality of their products is good by me,

and below is a statement

from their catalog in that regard:

the companies and many are all covering their backs so they are not

I started my ALA today and I ate, so, I will not do it the

same way tomorrow.

I received my LDN finally. I have a months worth 1.5 and

then 3.0 for the second month. My Dr was not sure how to prescribe it

so he spoke with someone at Skips Pharmacy.

I am nervous about starting it. I have been reading on and

off for over a year as I tried to get one of my Dr's to write me a

script.

Gluten free products are very expensive and many of them have a lot of

sugar in them in my experience.

I had my thyroid meds changed back to Armour Thyroid now

that they are producing it again. I had many side effects from

Levothryoxin! Though it did take my body temp from 97.0 up to 98.0 and

stopped my hair from falling out, however, the side effects were

horrid!

I have had CFS for over 20 years and FM for over 15 years

plus a number of other issues.

Thank you all for your support.

I have started to buy my supplements from Swanson- https://www.swansonvitamins.com/

I was u sing Vitamin Shoppe and Iherb but the prices are

better, does anyone know anything about Swanson that is negative?

Hi n,I'm sorry if you thought you SHOULD be taking that much.  Some people can take up to 15mg, but one shouldn't take any more than that in 24 houra.  I had a doc who was groggy if he took 1mg.  We are all different.  I was just giving people an upper limit, not a lower limit. Sorry if I confused you, but I did say you can take UP TO 15mg.  Hope that clears it up for you.  Lauri

Regarding going gluten free: I have learned we do need some of the grains as they are very good natural sources for some of the vitamins and minerals we need. I find quinoa and brown (and wild) rice to be great substitutes and not that expensive when bought in bulk from whole foods co-op store types. I use less pastas than before. I have learned to cook differently... everything from scratch and many varieties of vegetables. Recently I also have had to eliminate all night shade vegetables as they too cause rheumatoid flares. That has been a bummer as I liked red peppers and tomatoes. I wish I could afford to eat organic meats, but that is outside my budget at this time. The harder parts has been finding condiments that are gluten free. I cannot eat anything with dairy (casein) and soy as they bring on great pain in my body, causing either fibro or rheumatoid type flares. Many kinds of oils will do this too and find I can use only olive, grapeseed, and canola oils. If I have a flare all I have to do is look back at the last 24 hours and see what it is I have eaten. Many of the corn chip and vegetable chip brands use a number of oils that cause my joints to swell. Many of the gluten free cracker/cookie type products use soy flour. If I eat any of them I pay big time. The cleaner I am with my diet the better I feel.

And 3 mg LDN is making a big difference in my energy level. Last week I spent 3 days completely rearranging my bedroom, moving big furniture by myself (removed the drawers first) ... washing walls, etc. I am 70 years old. (With a knee that is scheduled for arthroscopic surgery in 10 days.) I'm embarrassed to state it has been 20 years since that room was painted and I had to just live with it the way it was ... until now. Also tackling other projects one at a time that are years overdue. Instead of 3 days of recovery time, I am finding that is cut in half at least. I have woken up some mornings feeling like the woman I used to be 35 years ago. My mood is brighter, my mind clearer and find I am smiling more. My desire to accomplish some things I have wanted to do out there in the world, just may happen yet. That would be so wonderful as it would bring so much m

eaning and purpose to my life.

Would love to hear other positive progress stories.

We had yet another saga with her last night as she fell and smacked her head off the pavement and has a huge lump/bruise! We took her to the ER because it looked sunken in at first but got better while we sat waiting to be seen. They said she is fine but had to be sure with her going under general anesthesia. This girl is AGING me QUICKLY!!!!! ! Hoping to run into some families because last time was great meeting 2 other families dealing with the same thing. Have a great week and wish us safe travels as we are on our own again. Patty, mom of Isabella, 2 years old, in 5th scoli cast (Rochester) & now an arm cast & mom to & Evan
