questions....

May 28, 2001

Hey all:

I started Ebony on the two new enzymes on Friday. I am giving her three a

day each one so far. I put them in her cup. So far, I have noticed that

she doesn't drink the juice as well with the enzymes in. Do they taste bad?

I can't put them in the food because she doesn't eat any soft foods and

she is a definite grazer.

One question is this...how long should I wait to see a benefit or reaction

to the enzymes? Also, maybe she needs more enzymes? Maybe she doesn't have

enough of the enzymes in her system when she eats. Right now, it is kind of

hit and miss. If I put them in her cup and she doesn't drink it right when

she's eating, is it going to help..for instance, if she eats a breakfast bar

and an hour later finishes her cup, is that too late for it to work? What

is the time after eating a food that you should have the enzyme?

Hoping to see some results soon....

Tamara, mom to Ebony-3 1/2, ASD & -2 months

Tamara,

You might want to post your questions again late Mon. or Tue. when

Devin is back. Meanwhile, I will share what I know. My son rejected

taking the enzymes in several foods. He is older and would rather

take them seperately in a little juice rather than " contaminate " his

food. For Ebony, you could try something with a strong taste such

as, peanut butter (would she reject that being a " soft " food?) or a

little frozen juice concentrate in a spoon. Maybe squishing the

enzymes into a piece of chewy brownie would work. Do you have a copy

of Devin's dosing sheet? It would be helpful for your questions

here. Also, I have copied and pasted below a response Devin gave to

another poster about the timing of the enzymes. Let me know if you

need anything clarified.

Subject: Re: Challenge on the diet with enzymes tonight........

The enzyme activity will last for 2 - 3 hours at least. If dinner is

extended, simply give another enzyme later on in the meal.

Shari

I get weird rashes when I am killing off candida. Especially when I

use the d'olenate skin cream. It is supposed to penetrate to the

third layer. IT makes me herx and also brings out some itchy little

lesions. It also makes my skin symptoms worse. I have found this

with oral yeast killers too. Good luck

Hi!

I take paxil, and it seems to help alot with the depression that

comes from having ra. It does make you sleepy, so I take mine at bed

time. Your rheumy should be able to prescribe what is right for you

as not all things work the same for each person.

I currently do not work and I haven't been taking my meds for over

two weeks and I feel more pain gradually getting worse everyday. Get

this.....I applied for a job at a hospital where I live, and my

rheummy said I was unable to perform the duties expected of me so he

faxed paperwork to the job and I didn't get the position!!! I have

been looking for work since then. I think he wants me to be on SSI

but I am only 25! I can still work and do normal things (with meds)!

Anyhoo, ever since that incident I have been extremely depressed. If

anybody else is taking something and recommends it, I will definitely

try it out! Currently, I only take Methotrexate (8 a week).

Yes I get a lot of sinus infections and colds. Not so much since I stopped

Humira. I also take an antidepressant.

As long as i am not on meds I NEVER get sick. If I am on meds tend to catch

everything that goes by!!

If I get one thing it will lead to a string of viruses and such...like a

domino effect. I try to take as little to no medication as possible. Especially

during the cold and flu season.

As far as yeast infections go. I get them all over my skin. They are very

annoying. I generally stay off prednisone but I was on two bursts of pred

about two months ago and now I am paying. I would ask your doc for a

prescription

of the pills that treat yeast infections and then you can take them the same

time or shortly after you finish the pred burst. I will guess your blood

sugars are running high when on pred.

Hey everybody!

I hope all is well with you guys and pray that everyone is pain-free right

now!

I was curious though. Does anyone with RA experience frequent colds and

sickness? I know that our immune system is not exactly up to par right now,

however, I continue to get sick and when I do it takes FOREVER for me to get

rid

of them! I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this.

Also, I was thinking about taking some anti-depression meds. I have been

taking this pain and the whole situation really hard right now. I currently do

not work and I haven't been taking my meds for over two weeks and I feel more

pain gradually getting worse everyday. Get this.....I applied for a job at a

Last question....Last question....

Does anybody experience yeast infections with Prednisone?! I REFUSE to take

that stuff again! I took it for 2 days a couple of weeks ago, and is now

catching pure you know what!

I've been on prednisone for 1½ yrs w/ no yeast infections. I used to

be prone to them, especially when I ate tooo much sweets.
