or dead sea salts to help her pain . taking evening primrose oil with gla

1500 mg ....a day or fish oil supplements [enteric coated ] threse take a while

to kick in maybe 6 weeks but it is sometheing to start. take with food .

wish I could help you more . cathy from ma

-Have you tried Hydrotherapy? Massage? I too am in the middle of a

flare and I have been waiting for my appointment for 4 weeks now..I go

to a acupunturist...along w/ acupuncture- he does the mild electric

shock..and massages me..and cups me....all this for about 125 dollars

( just over and hour worth of treatment) but,I can say it does help

out.

I'm so sorry for what is going through! I can't even imagine

dealing with this at 15, bless her heart.

Call her regular pediatrician or primary care physician on the phone

and ask whether (and how much) over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-

inflammatory meds would be safe and helpful until she can see the

doctor. Under a doctor's direction, these can be taken in larger

doses than normal, especially short-term. Be careful, though, and be

sure to get a doctor's advice on this. Make sure to emphasize that

she is in great pain.

bless you both,

Hi,

Yes I have a great home remedy. Buy some emu oil on ebay I will supply the

link below. I am just a buyer of their product as you can see in the feedback

of the

seller. It needs to be heated up. I boil water in a 3 " shallow pan then turn

off the heat and put the plastic white bottle of emu directly in the water and

wait around ten minutes. Then take the oil and rub it on your daughters back

and use liberally.

Do this every other day and she will feel much better.

That child is in my prayers....so much for a young person to deal with. Can she

take Aleve for now? And what about hot baths with Epsom salts and some lavender

oil? I take oat flour and dried (or fresh) lavender in a bag made out of cheese

cloth under the running faucet for a soothing, softening bath. I add this to the

Epsom salts because the salts can dry your skin. Nothing fancy with the

bag....just tie a square off with a rubber band. Or use an old wash cloth. It is

short lived but can help for a bit. Many people still swear by Castor oil wraps

but it's messy business. We keep it around because my daughter had an antibiotic

resistant infection last year that gave her boils. Very painful. The castor oil

helped heal them along with the prescibed medicine. Just don't eat it. Please

keep us posted. Blessings, -Betz

Hi ? is it?

I'm sorry to read that is in so much pain. Unfortunately I can't

help you on alternative or home remedies as I stick to the conventional stuff. I

hope some of the others were able to help you on that score. I can say though,

that the chances are, Ice and Asprin won't really touch it. Is she just point

blank refusing to go to the doctor? If that is the case, the best idea might

be to keep at her to try to convince her that they should be able to help. It

sounds like the medicine she was on before seems to have helped. Is that the

case.

You don't say if you have just joined the group but it reads like a " just

joined " post. lol So if you have just joined, welcome and if you have been here

for a while, just point at me and laugh. lol

Take care,

you might want to ask the doctor for an antidepressant for your daughter .

she might be more open to some of the new treatments that will help her

arthritis . Eight years old was too young to let a child make a decision

reguarding medication . at least at this age if she takes an antidepressant some

of

them also have the added bonus of some pain relief.and help her get some

rest . It takes a few weeks for antidepressants to work but they might be a

start to getting her to some sort of treatment.

I have found that when my back gets REALLY bad. You know...tear

jerking, teeth gritting, white knuckle bad.....that sitting in a hot

tub helps. (The big one's, not a bathtub. Getting in and out of a

bathtub counteracts all the good of the hot water.) Unfortunately, the

hot water dries out my skin horribly and I can only do it when I don't

have open lesions. (Isn't that an attractive picture? LOL)

The relief doesn't last very long, but for a little while it is

blissful.

Lol As long as you laugh , that is the important thing.

Reading on................

Regarding TB. All I know is that I was asked had I ever been exposed to TB

when they were getting ready to start me on Enbrel. I think it was something to

do with it lying latent in your body, the Enbrel can trigger it. I might be

way off the mark here but I am sure you will get other more knowledgeable

answers. The Pneumonia? I don't know, unless it is something to do with our

compromised immune system?

Take care,
