Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've been looking into melatonin more and have found repeat confirmations of >my concerns that people with autoimmune disorders SHOULD NOT take it at all List, I would be concerned about this for people who have very low Blood Pressure readings. I loved it, when I was real bad off , in pain and feeling real lucky when I could sleep 45min. at a time more than one time per night. After I was better, I took it from my pill pack when I began waking up numb. I think I was just sleeping so hard I did not move, and all of it together affected my blood flow.I have several cousins who test positive hla-B27 and they all have very low BP. I work in the health food industry, and do/would warn against melatonin for people with low BP issues , unless it is given by a health care professional. I am going to read and research the issues you are concerned with. Melatonin should always be used with care especially in young people, a high level can shut down your body's own production of melatonin.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Interesting. My son has low BP and they never mentioned that it could be part of the arthritis. Is this common? Does anyone have trouble with dizzy spells when standing up? That's another problem that we have battled with.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dizzy when standing can be adrenal fatigue. When my adrenals are taxed and/or undertreated I get dizzy when rising. You might google adrenal fatigue. Kate G Hashi's AS At 09:33 PM 1/14/2009, you wrote: >Interesting. My son has low BP and they never mentioned that it could be >part of the arthritis. Is this common?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Does your son take Lyrica for pain? Mine does. He is a person whose blood pressure was typically almost borderline (on the high side), but since taking Lyrica regularly he has these signs which I associate with low blood pressure. I don't believe it has anything to do with the reactive arthritis.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for the thoughts on Lyrica. No, that's one that he's never been on. He has been off of all of his arthritis meds since early November (Naproxen, Methotrexate, Enbrel), but still no change with the dizzy spells. He's had neuro check up, but they come up with nothing. This has been happening for about 3 years now. He's just " used " to it at this point. However, I'm afraid that he's going to get hurt when they are bad enough that he actually falls. So far, he's been lucky and we've either caught him or he's somehow not been injured in a fall yet. He never has lost consciousness yet, but he still goes down. I welcome any other thoughts.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Myndi, Low blood pressure when rising can by a symptom of adrenal fatigue. You might google it. Unfortunately, most doctors don't recognize the middle, they only do 's or Cushing's. Kate G Hashi's AS At 04:26 PM 1/19/2009, you wrote: >Thanks for the thoughts on Lyrica.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Someone else mentioned the adrenal fatigue on here last week. I did google it, but I'm going to look into it a bit more and ask his neurologist??? about it??? What type of doctor would know about this?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 No, a neurologist would know nothing about it. There are some open minded GP's that understand it. There are Endo's and ENT's here and there. One of the most basic things you can have you GP do is run blood work, AM Cortisol is the test. It needs to be between 18-23 at 8am. Cortisol production needs to be at it's highest in the morning, it starts to lower as the day goes on. So if it's below 18 in at 8am then most (not all) people are going to have some symptoms. Adrenals can be supported by Vit C and B12. But many people need more support than that. I am on 20 mg of hydrocortisone a day. You adrenals also hinder thyroid function, even when you are on replacement. http://adrenalfatigue.org/ Check you local library to see if they have the book. It is excellent. I have not used Dr 's program or supplements. But his advise is outstanding. http://www.drlam.com/articles/adrenal_fatigue.asp I have not used Dr. Lam's supplement either. I know some who have and said it is great. I have learned to make adjustments in my life, like sleeping in when ever I can. I am trying again to cut back on the caffeine. Also trying not to stress out, learning to let go and give it to God. Slowing down when ever I can, saying no to extra stuff that I don't need to do.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wow, thanks for all of this info. I'll look into it and ask Zack's GI doc about it. It would be great if we could finally get this figured out!
