Guest guest Posted March 6, 1996 Report Share Posted March 6, 1996 rheumatic greeting This is the first time that I have written. I am so glad that I have found this help. I have tried anti-inflam for Rheumatoid arthritis; because of asthma tendencies, I can not take them. I am presently on Predisone 10 mg per day. I have been on Predisone for three mts. I have tried several medications, because of side effects I can not stay on them. I have just put down another one! Plaguenil. I noticed a rash and itching, but then later noticed a hearing loss which lasted only a few seconds, but scary. I really do not know what to take or do. I am currently going to a rheuma tologist, but she seems not to really know what to do with me! I am 50 years old, married, grandmother, but am a professional children's therapist and desire to keep working and MOVING! Any adice, I would welcome it. I also tried Azul..dine, cant think of the spelling right now, did not work. Also Doxcycline too, noticed no change. One of my big questions tonight is this: Have you heard of yeast (candida albecans being one of the causes of RA? Thanks for " listening " to me. Martha gmsmith@...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 Hi Martha, Welcome to the group > think of the spelling right now, did not work. Also Doxcycline too, noticed no change. One of my big questions tonight is this: Have you How long were you on doxycycline? What dose? > heard of yeast (candida albecans being one of the causes of RA? It is often a complicating factor. Dr. McPherson Brown, the pioneer of antibiotic therapy for rheumatic disease, believed the disease is triggered by mycoplasma and other infections. Yeast infections are certainly often present and need treating along with the antibiotics being used. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Hi Sydney, Welcome to the group. I see Dr. Cheney also, and have seen him a couple of times while he was temporarily housed at your PCP's office. From that, I suspect I am just up the road a ways from you - in Morehead City. Donna in NC greeting > Hi Eveyone, > > I would like to introduce myself.I am new to the group.My name is Sydney from NC. > > I had been following Dr Cheney since he was in Charlotte. I think it was fate that brought him to my PCP's office from Bald Head,last year. Cheney made it his temp. office before moving to Asheville. My PCP asked me to see Cheney because he was at a loss as to what to do for me.I had been in the hospital twice and each time coming out worse than I went in,with respiatory problems.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Hi Donna, Thank you for welcoming me to the group. I live In Wilmington. I was born and raised here, one of the few left.I started seeing Cheney last summer. I see him about every three or four months. I tested positive to HHV-6a. He has it under control with Isoprionsine.At least it was the last time I was tested. I am due to see him again in Oct. I don't know how much longer I can afford to keep seeing him and continue on all the supplements and injections without some sort of help. My income is limited.I am on hgh and if I can get my crp to a normal level I might be able to start on bovine growth. I am fortunate that my PCP believes in Cheney's work and will help me when he can. He is busy with other patient's with other problems other then cfs an is not able to keep up with Cheney's protocol. It is good to meet you. Sydney Original Message ----- From: Donna Pruitt Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 8:18 PM Subject: Re: greeting Hi Sydney, Welcome to the group.
