Hi Jessy,

Sorry that your having a flare. Your so young, and I understand how

you want to do things. When I know that I'm going somewhere I rest

before, and after. I also have a lot of pain in my feet. I just try

to stay off them for awhile, and soak them.

You might need to ask your doc for some pain meds if you have a lot

of pain. You take care, Tawny

Jessy,

My husband has had RA for about 10 years & was diagnosed in his early 30's. I'm

so sorry to hear that you have to deal with this kind of pain as well at such a

young age! I asked his opinion on your question & he says to lay off the dairy,

wheat and any caffeine. Also, alternate between cold/hot cloths with your feet

up until the swelling goes down. And of course, as Tawny said, pain medication.

I know these don't sound like a lot, but it does seem to help him enough where

he can get around a little easier! I hope this helps....feel better! :-)

Jessy:

I can't give you any info about the achilles tendons, but I can tell you

that I too experience severe pain when I flare in my joints. My doc has

given me permission to carefully adjust the amount of Prednisone I take

to help get me through a flare, and so far this has been very

successful. Right now, I am on 5mg a day (take it in the morning), but

when I start to flare, I will take a second one in the evening to help

control the inflammation.

Make sure to speak with your Rheumy as to find out what is best for

you. My life still consists of daily pain and periods of severe

inflammation that make it difficult to leave my bed. With the help of

increasing my Prednisone, I find that the flares are under control faster

and I am experiencing a better quality of life.

Take care,

Hello, Jessy!

I can relate to what you are saying. I, too, was very young when I

started having symptoms of RA. I think it got really bad around 23-

24yo. I was Dx'd at age 27 and have just turned 30. Started out

being able to tell when it was going to rain. I now have pain that

runs from my knees to my ankles, so bad that it feels liek I am

standing on broken bone at times. I haven't started taking anything

other than Aleve so far.

I know it's hard to be so young and to have such pain in your body.

What anti-inflammatory are you on?

Jessy, I would tell your rheumatologist everything you told us here and see

if you can have another DMARD added to the MTX.

Not an MD

I'll tell you where to go!

Debbie,

Hey Girl, you just can't get a break can you? You know me, I'm a real

supporter of repoing and how great repo results can be, but if you

are now going to add in trouble with positioning at night as she gets

older, I think you know my answer. Since we know she has been for

the most part doing well with the repo, we know that her head is

still very pliable, that's a good thing and a bad thing. Good because

it makes repo work well, good because it gets fast corection in a

band, but bad when they won't cooperate with sleeping position. You

know you need to keep the pressure on the bossing areas and if that

can't be maintained then it's one more problem on the repo road. Does

this make sense to you? Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Angie , This has been happening to me, as well. I stated brushing my

hair before I get in the shower. That helps to get all the loose ones

out and keep them out of the drain. At this point, I don't know who

sheds more, me or my cats!!! Mine has been coming out steadily, but I

don't have any bald patches or major thinning, so I haven't done

anything about it. Rogaine was suggested by my hairstylist. I didn't

want that, once you stop using it, everything that grew as a result of

the Rogaine will come out!! A dermatologist would be my next

suggestion. They could give you more answers as to what would help.

Sometimes it's just a supplement of some sort (Vit. B12, ect..).

Since I haven't noticed any actual thinning, I'm not doing anything

other than brushing before I shower, keeping it in a loose braid at

night when I go to bed, and buying the occasional Liquid plumber!!

I've been on MTX for 3 years now and it hasn't gotten any

worse...Marina

Hi Angie.

I am on MTX injections, and I've noticed that mine has been falling out

steadily since being switched over from the pills. My hair has thinned

considerably along my hairline at the top of my forehead, and it seems to

have thinned out less noticeable everywhere else. I always have it in a

ponytail when I am preparing meals because I find it is everywhere.....(on

my clothes, floor, etc.).

I am going to get my hair cut here in the next few weeks. Speak to your

hairdresser about different cuts that give the illusion of your hair being

fuller than it is. Also, you'd be amazed what a blowdryer and a round

brush can do for volume!

Take care,

Hi,

This is just a suggestion but my mom experienced hair loss that has been

mentioned. After test she had a thyroid that was not functioning properly.

Actually it runs

in the family both my daughter and I have it. But one of the signs of the

thyroid not working right was hair loss.

Just a suggestion you might want to ask about. Once they got her on synthroid

the hair loss stopped.

Hi

I'm certainly not a doctor but your symptoms sound a lot like Pakinsons. Have

you ever mentioned this to your doctor? Tremors or trembling are a primary

feature as is muscle stiffness and difficulty walking. My good friends dad had

this and what you describe sounds similar. I hope your doctors can figure it

out for some peace of mind.

Take Care

Hi ,

I get some muscle weakness, too, and found out Thursday during my

initial visit with my new doctor that I also have weakness on my

right side. They are suspecting lupus right now, not RA, which was

my previous diagnosis.

There are three things that immediately come to mind from your

descriptions, and there are probably more possibilities. Have you

been tested for MS or parkinsons? The weakness and shaking sound

suspicious to me. The other thought was possible nerve/spinal cord

issues since you said you had some degeneration of the spine. I'd

discuss all three with your doctor.

Good luck. I know how frustrating feeling so bad and not knowing

why is.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Read this excerpt:

Due to the similarity of its symptoms to other conditions, many thyroid

disorders are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Hypothyroidism (where the

thyroid reduces thyroid hormone production) involves the slowdown of

the whole metabolism and is the most common form of thyroid disorder.

Symptoms include increased weight, fatigue, depression, intolerance to

cold, constipation, joint pain, muscle pain, brittle fingernails,

brittle hair, pale skin, facial swelling, ankle swelling, foot

swelling, leg swelling, muscle pain, muscle spasms, muscle atrophy,

joint stiffness, drowsiness and missed menstruation (not a problem for

you).

http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/news/

thyroid_disorder_underdiagnosed_and_misdiagnosed.htm

Babs' suggestion of Parkinson's is also something to be considered:

The four primary symptoms of Parkinson's are tremor or trembling in

hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity or stiffness of the limbs

and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural

instability or impaired balance and coordination. Patients may also

have difficulty walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks.

a,

I have had my thyroid checked. I have been hypothyroid for years,

and am stable on medication with it. The doc does not think it is

involved. Thanks for the thought though.

Has anyone had or heard of your big toe hurting like a really bad

cramp w/o an actual cramp and/or it switching to your like archilles

tendon? I'm having a heck of a time with it. My toe is a lot better

but, the tendon or that area anyhow is crappy! I've had the problem

with my toe b4 but never with the back of my ankle. Just

wondering....Kim

Sometimes my toe joint(s) get so swollen during a flare up it can cause my toe

joints or ankles to hurt and feel like they are jammed. Just my experience.

Hi Sue,

There is no guarantee that any particular flush will be successful in

removing any or all of the detritus in either your liver or gallbladder. Many

people perform 10 or more flushes before success. I know I am going to stir up

great debate, but the jury is still out on what those soft green " stones " really

are. Suffice to say that the flushes ability to stimulate both the flow of bile

from the liver and emittion from the gallbladder is very detoxifying at the

least. Pain in the liver/gallbladder region may happen from a number of

reasons, gallstones or sludge being just one of them. The program is

essentially the same no matter what: cease harm, protect, lubricate, detox,

rebuild, support; not necessarily in that order. Thank God the liver is as

regenerative as it is. Keep up the faith and hard work. Always, in all ways,

-Dave

Hello.

I have been having occasional sharp pains on my right side, about 3

to

4 inches below my rib cage. It seems to be after eating, later

though, not right away. I did a liver flush about 2 months ago, and

then I did one last night. I passed maybe 50 small stones total.

But

I am still having the occasional pain. I thought the cleanse would

have gotten rid of the pain. Is that pain from the gallbladder or

the

liver? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sue

are. Suffice to say that the flushes ability to stimulate both the flow of bile

from the liver and emittion from the gallbladder is very detoxifying at the

least. Pain in the liver/gallbladder region may happen from a number of

reasons, gallstones or sludge being just one of them. The program is

essentially the same no matter what: cease harm, protect, lubricate, detox,

rebuild, support; not necessarily in that order. Thank God the liver is as

regenerative as it is. Keep up the faith and hard work. Always, in all ways,

-Dave

Subject: question

Hello.

I have been having occasional sharp pains on my right side, about 3

to

4 inches below my rib cage. It seems to be after eating, later

though, not right away. I did a liver flush about 2 months ago, and

then I did one last night. I passed maybe 50 small stones total.

But

I am still having the occasional pain. I thought the cleanse would

have gotten rid of the pain. Is that pain from the gallbladder or

the

liver? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sue

, have you told your rheumatologist exactly how bad the pain is and

how it is interfering with your daily functioning? He/she might increase the

MTX or add another DMARD.

,

I am brand new to RA (July diagnosis, March is when the pain

started) My MD just gave me a pain med and referred me to a

rheumatologist. I was put on prednisone to get my pain controlled,

plus Relafen for pain and swelling and Tramadal for pain and Arava.

The prednisone was a godsend (although temporary) until the Arava

could get to work. I am also now on Enberel injections and weaning

off of the Prednisone. My Dr. was an angel from heaven. My body

was completely racked with pain and I had a newborn baby to take

care of. I could barely walk or move my arms, hands knees or

shoulders. I thought that I would die. She said we would could get

this all under control and that I would have a normal life again. I

still have some stiffness on some mornings but not always. If your

Dr. doensn't understand your pain (which I thought no one could) you

should find one that does. There is relief for us out there. I am

afraid of the pain coming back but for now my life is completely

livable and enjoyable again. Good luck, Abby

E-mail Dr. Gluck at the LDN website and ask this, he would be best to ask.

Go to the LDN website and click on contact us and there will be an e-mail
