Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Afternoon all, I've been in a bit of a state the past couple of daze with really quite severe pain in my knee, elbow and finger joints.Bad enough not to be able to sleep...even with diclofenec and codipar. I know a lot of you are really 'old hands' at this so please can I ask how best to deal with it. Also, as my adrenals are on the mend, are these new pains due to the reduction in excess cortisol.... is it a case of, as one thing gets better...another thing gets worse ? I ran this by my gp today and he said "well all these autoimmune and inflammatory things go hand in hand". He has given me a blood test envelope to take up the hospital asking for bone profile,rheumatoid factor and ESR. I'm assuming the rheumatoid factor is to see my predisposition to arthritis but can anyone tell me what the ESR is please. Any advice greatly received.... and thank you to everyone who posted messages regarding me being given a prescription for Armour. I took it into the pharmacy today and as far as I know, it is being processed........... good energy to you all, julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
