Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Vee, Hi, I am doing real well except for one thing. I have subluxed my first finger's top knuckle by using a glue gun. I did not think pressing a glue gun (in which I have done a hundred million times) would sublux a joint. But behold a bent top part of finger. So hubby help pull on it to place it back straight and it was very swollen, red and numb. Then the swelling went down. Then on top of the finger on the top joint is a hard nub of a bump. You cannot move it around and feels as if it is a part of the bone. I have no idea what I have done but will call the Dr. tomorrow. My Father-in -law (a retired Dr.) thinks I have pulled out the cartilage from the joint. If this is true then I am stupid for pulling on my joint and how often does that happen to anyone? Vee, as far as the PMT I would try some natural health food stores. I would look for natural meats as often as possible to stay away from hormones injected into meats. Chocolate is a big no no due to its natural hormone. You need to go to this site and read her stuff. She has helped me alot: http://drnorthrup.com/womens-health.php?PHPSESSID=d0a818aaabead11c158c766350 8b9ba9 I think you need a real hormone test done. They recently did a recall from our stores due to a overdose of hormones given to cows and it transferred to the milk. So really look for the more natural stuff. It is expensive but it tastes better and you'll finish it and get your moneys worth from it. Go to a homeopathic doctor for meds. I do not know about the 's and how it plays into the picture but going on an antidepressant might cause problems. I take Effexor EX and it is wonderful for me BUT it causes other side effects. I think it slows down my metabolism. So lots to consider and lots of research to look into. Vee, it is never easy for us but with and attitude of I can do this if I deal with one thing at a time then soon things will get better. The DX of 's has added more to the burden and the load is heavier. It takes time to get use to it. Give yourself time to adjust and figure out how it plays into your EDS and other health issues. So the frustration that things are not working out well can cause it to be worse for your health. You cannot heal well if you hate or dislike your body. How can anyone? You have to love your body and take care of it as if it was someone you loved very dearly. Does this make sense to you? It is not easy especially when you feel as if your body has betrayed you. This is where the forgiveness comes in. Forgive your body for failing you for not healing well. When a mentally challenged child cannot read you do not put it down and call them stupid. Have the same compassion for your body. It is a temple and should be cared for as much as your mind and soul. Sorry for the long lecture. I just know this is what I was doing wrong and when I changed it made a big difference to my overall health. I hope some of this helped? Let me know if I can help or if you have any questions.
