Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi ; Slow down little one!Panic is about the worst thing you can do to yourself as it gets the cortisol going and that will cause more problems disease wise.Whether it is RA or Lupus you may well wait a long time before the doctors actually figure it out and many of these rheumatic diseases overlap.You have come here early and will probably get a fair control but there is so much to learn that it can be mind bogling.My sister has Lupus and is in remission just by using Doxycycline 50mg 3 times a week.I have systemic Scleroderma and am in remission as well but it took years to figure things out.We had to find out that we both have Celiac disease and until we got that controled the AP did not work too well.It seems like about 70% of people with chronic diseases have Celiac and you may just find that if you drastically alter your diet you might feel much better and that allows the AP to work faster.Celiac causes systemic yeast problems,leaky gut and malabsorbtion of nutrients. You are in the right place and these wonderful people will guide you just as they did me.By the way,the doctors had given me less than a year to live but all my lab results showed normal except for the red and white blood cells being a tad off.Go figure.Do you have a doctor that is easy to work with that might write you a prescription for antibiotics? If not let the folks here know where you live and they will probably find someone relatively near you. Lynne G. ktandtm wrote: > I just found this group and hope you all can help.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi, First congratulations on your new baby. And you've come to the right place. A lot of people here have been and some still are where you are, including myself. First thing, stop having any more children. Second, find yourself a doctor who believes in A/P. That's antibiotic protocol. Get a real diagnosis if you can. These diseases are known to overlap. Lastly, get prepared to fight for your life, the rest of your life. These diseases just don't go away suddenly by themselves or with the changing of drugs. I have S/D, R/A. and Sarcoidosis. Just got diagnosed for that yesterday. I am and have been on a drug called Minocin (Minocycline is the generic name.) I understand the brand name is better. I started slowly at 50 mg MWF, then found a great doc in Boston who ramped up my dosage to 100mg. twice a day. I have done very well and my recovery started rapidly and I was elated. Then I started getting tired again and my heart started to become irregular. I also developed pulmonary hypertension. There are different types of illnesses, both outside the body involving the skin only and inside the body where the internal organs are attacked. The internal ones are harder to treat. Then there is the MCTD ( mixed connective tissue disease) That's when you have more than one. You'll have good days, bad days and some so-so days. You've got to learn to ride the waves. Accept the progress, expect to regress sometimes and other times you may even forget that you are sick. This is all very difficult not only on yourself, but also on your little ones. Try to get someone to help you with the children, housework, laundry etc.so you can rest more often. Nap when the little ones nap and listen to your body. Get on a good nutrition plan. You most likely eat on the run with all those babies to take care of. You need pampering right now. Maybe you can find a young mother's helper who is willing to do an internship in your house. Try the churches and schools. Call social services, but definitely you need the extra help. These diseases can bring the strongest of people down to their knees, You cannot do this alone, don't even try. There are some good books out there. Go to the library and get any book by Henry Scammell. Reserve it or you can buy it new or used on amazon.com at a reduced price. They are not expensive books, but they tell the whole story. The Methotrexate and such drugs will definitely have to go. Good Luck~~~~Dolores ktandtm <ktandtm@...> wrote: I just found this group and hope you all can help.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi , First of all welcome to the group. You have certainly been through a lot lately. You are definitely not a baby. You have shouldered many things this past year. Caring for 7 kids deserves a medal all it's own! I was depressed and tired when I became aware that things weren't right. It seems to go hand in hand with these diseases. I don't blame you for being concerned with taking all of the medication. Glad you found us. I have been taking nothing more than Minocin for years now and I'm doing great. I have to remind myself I have that I have RA most of the time. You should read up on the antibiotic therapy from the www.rheumatic.org web page. There is a section that can be printed off and taken to the doctor if he us not familiar with this treatment. And of course there is always this group. This is where you can come for advice and just to vent if you need to. We know how you feel because we've been there too. If you want to read it, my story is on the webpage. It will give you a little insight as to what went on before I got well. Again, welcome. Just stay as positive as you can be (I know it's hard) do what you can when you can do it, and try not to sweat the stuff that's really not important. I wasn't the best housekeeper when I was at my worst but everyone made it through. All the Best, Dee rheumatic Hi, new and don't know where to turn I just found this group and hope you all can help. I went through hurricane Katrina while being pregnant. Never had a symptom in the world. Then after I had my baby in Sep. I got arthritis pain and could hardly do much of anything.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi and welcome. You are in the right place and there is help and support here for you. The first thing I recommend you to do is get tested for Lyme's Disease...not just the standard blood test because it's just too unreliable but the Igenex Western Blot test. Lyme's could be the underlying cause for all your miseries. And, this is the good part, the antibiotic Minocin is THE ANSWER to any and all of what you are told you have (read those words carefully...what you are TOLD you have...doesn't mean they are right but they have to give you a label in order to give you some meds and blood tests are sometimes incorrect). Even if you don't have Lyme's the Minocin is still the answer. I too was falling apart....Graves Disease (I did NOT radiate), edema, swollen sausage fingers, Raynauds, Sjogren's, Lupus, RA, did I miss anything....all confirmed by blood tests....finally they tested me for Lyme's. The standard test came back negative. The better test (Igenex) came back with seriously positive. I got on the Minocin a minute after the blood draw (for the RA) and now amazingly all the symptoms are going away. I still have issues but at least now I'm thinking I'm going to live. Before the Lyme's diagnosis and starting Minocin, I primarily dealt with all my symptoms with vitamins, organic food, rotation diet, acupuncture, massage, PT, homeopathic, etc ... I did take meds for a very short time for Graves; maybe for six months or less with ever decreasing dosages....but none of the other stuff. I have a neighbor just diagnosed with leukemia...taking chemo...not doing well...just found out yesterday she has Lymes...Lymes is so clever...it imitates so many conditions (see the website http://www.hopetoheallyme.com/). I suspect she doesn't have leukemia but the doctor's had to put a label on her altered white blood count and it seems leukemia is a new favorite label. It scares the stuffing out of people too and that makes them even more docile to the doctor's advice. Before the leukemia she was told she had fibromyalgia...so all that to say Lyme's is clever and most doctor's aren't. ! My advice is to hang in there, see if you can get the Lyme's test first and right after they draw your blood start the Minocin. I hope someone else will post re the methotrexate...I think you need to go off that but slowly...I may be getting it confused with another med...not my area of expertise other then don't take anything you don't have to take. And don't let a doctor scare you that Minocin is harmful....many of us have been on it for YEARS and expect to be on it for LIFE (on maintenance dosages).... And again Welcome! You are where you need to be. We have been waiting for you and others to find us so we can help you. If your internist will not do this for you someone on this group can help you find someone in your area that might. I'd be tempted to take all the kids and trap the doctor until he gives you what you want. Twenty minutes of active kids...I'm thinking he/she will do anything to send you (all) on your way. That's supposed to be a joke so I hope you're laughing. Regards, El Re: rheumatic Hi, new and don't know where to turn ktandtm <ktandtm@...> wrote: I just found this group and hope you all can help.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi , I'm so sorry that you are going through this. It is a very similar experience that I had when my second child was born. It took so longer for me to be diagnosed as the doctors kept telling me I must be holding my daughter too much and that is why I was so stiff and sore. I was originally dx'd with Lupus and then they added RA later. I refused to take the Methotrexate because my daughter was still nursing. I actually went into remission on my own for several years before it hit again. I am now on the AP therapy and have very high hopes. I'm curious to know if you have RH negative blood type and had a RhoGam injection after the birth? A doctor told me this is what triggered the Lupus and I have since come in contact with several other women who have developed Lupus and/or RA after giving birth. They all had the RhoGam in common and I thought it was fascinating that there have been no studies done on this (at least not publicly). I contacted the company that makes the vaccine and they refused to discuss it with me. I'm glad you found this forum because there are many people here that will offer helpful advice. It seems to me that first you need to find a doctor that will prescribe the antibiotics to you. Do you have anyone around you that can help with your everyday chores? I know how much energy it requires to properly care for children. I have 3 and it is a full time job! Try to take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply and think positive thoughts. Pain does not have to control you. You will find a way past this! Maggy rheumatic Hi, new and don't know where to turn I just found this group and hope you all can help.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 This is interesting to me as I also had the RhoGam shot and developed arthritis (still no official diagnosis) after the birth of my first child. I had wondered about this. You know how you go through every possible thing that could have triggered your symptoms. This was something I had thought about. Very interesting!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 , Before you go to the doctor, go to www.igenex.com and read what they have to say about Lyme disease. I just recently sent for a kit to get my blood tested. The next problem is getting a doctor to treat you right. My daughter has Lyme and she has to go almost 100 mi to a doctor. Her daughter (my granddaughter) also has it. They have to fly to Conn. every 3 mo. to a doctor there. If you have any questions about it you can contact her. Her email address is: perkys@... Her name is Gretchen. jan ktandtm <ktandtm@...> wrote: Hi everyone, you all are so great and filled with tons of info. I am finally excited about going to my new doc on Monday.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I will definitly check into how to be tested for Lyme's. Also I forgot to mention that I did not get that shot when I was pregnant like some of you did. I am not RH so that wasn't a connection for me. I am in MO close to either Columbia or Kansas City so if any of you know a doc that does the AP in these areas please let me know. More than one would be great if you have any since I hope to find one on my insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Just in case this is helpful to , and it might be something would be interested to note. The two addresses listed below are in the Kansas City, Missouri metropolitan area, and would probably be of interest to anyone asking for a Missouri referral.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Actually the addresses are on the Kansas state side but not too far from the Missouri boarder. I will have to drive 1 1/2 hours to get there but it will be worth it if they do the ap. > > > Arnold L.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Yes, I lived in ee Mission for a few years, but worked in Kansas City, Mo. They are all the same metropolitan area, even though the metropolitan area spans the state border, involving 2 states.So, an address in ee Mission is probably only a few miles (1 to 8) farther for you than one in KC MO. KU med center is immediately across the state line, just a stones throw from the area of KC MO where I worked. What town are you living in now? I grew up in southwest Mo, now live in Saint Louis, but I went to college in Warrensburg in the late 70's, lived in Overland Park in the early 80's have a niece in college now in Columbia.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I found this interesting. I am RH negative but did not develop RA until my middle forties. Anyone have any info on a link between RH negative people and increases in RA or Lupus rates. I had never heard of the possibility of the injection making one more susceptible. I had a total of three of these shots..one with each child. Any info would be welcome. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
