Hi: You might want to check (palpate) her muscles. Your ddx should be, of course, myositis. As you know it is an AI disease than can cause calcification in the muscles. Most doctors (including MDs) don't diagnose this condition for years! So, perhaps you can run the test CPK test, and possibly be the one to actually diagnose her. What to do for it if she has myositis? I have powerpoint presentation on my website you can refer to. Website: www.WholeHealthClinic.Net. Drainage is, of course, wonderful for this condition. They respond beautifully. Just basic drainage (of liver and kidneys, and working on the gut) can be so powerful in relieving their symptoms. Castor oil packs over the abdomen can help a lot with their overall symptoms. However,

dissolving the calcium deposits is not the easiest thing to do. In some cases, if it is myositis, it may be impossible to dissolve them although sure worth trying. If myositis, my focus is to help with the rest of their body (physically and emotionally) instead of dissolving the stones. Best wishes.
