With the FDA, (essentially) individuals applying for anything through the FDA provide their own " experts " and reports / data. The FDA has its own " experts " who review submitted info. Some of the HBOT " Experts " have previously been the UHMS. However, during the past two years their credibility has been assailed by Congressional Oversight and others in regards to CMS and FDA. Never the less, the IHMA and UHMS are " experts " that different organizations can turn to for " expert " advise. Remember, FDA is no longer the issue. We have to go after reimbursement and that means educating (and fighting with) all third party payers including Medicaid and Ins./HMO's. (I am not sure if I answered your question and intent).

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi . Sorry you're flaring. My worse joints are my ankles. Do you have one of those foot baths that have a massage? My best pain relief for my feet and ankles is to put them on the jets of my hot tub. It's like accupressure. Before I had a hot tub, I had a whirlpool unit that hung on the side of my bathtub, and I also had a foot whirlpool. Have you ever tried Enbrel? a On Jun 27, 2005, at 1:53 PM, Jex wrote: > Hello, > > I haven't posted in a couple months, but am having a > flare and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. > The rheumotiod arthritis is mainly in my feet, and > then also effects my achilles tendons.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hi hon Sorry not But I had all they symptoms of FM and they are going away :) I would say it was hypothyroidism mimicking FM indeed. Not sure if that is what means by the term lotsa luv Dawnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 As I understand it, it is the entire condition (peripheral thyroid hormone resistance) which is the hypothyroid mimic. This is because it produces the same set of signs and symptoms as primary hypothyroidism (a problem with the thyroid gland). Something such as fibromyalgia would be a symptom of the condition. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what has to say. Miriam > > I am still trying to get my head around " the mimics of hypothyroidism " . > > Would you say that fibromyalgia could be termed a mimic of hypothyroidism? It has much of the same symptoms and, am I right in thinking, people like Dr.Lowe think that it is a symptom of hypothyroidism rather than a condition on its own. > > Lilian > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Isn't that normal? We all get that occasionally in my family.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 That pain is your lungs 'sticking' to the inside of your ribcage. It is very common.
