Natural remedy for RA
Annie
Friday, July 17, 2009 at 05:01 PMHi
I can tell you that from the experience my daughter has had with a naturopath recently that RA can be helped enormously. Joint pain almost disappeared, just a slight stiffness in fingers first thing. She was given probiotics, tested for food intolerances and many were found. She went on a special diet cutting out all these foods and the improvement (after the Herxheimer reaction) was amazing. She could clench her fist, walk upstairs normally etc. She has done a Humaworm cleanse as parasites can also be a problem. Google Leaky Gut (IBS) and RA. Leaky Gut is what she was originally treated for. Try it. I cannot bear to think of others suffering. By the way she had some MTX but it did nothing to help.

I'm so sick of everything to do with RA. I'm tired of explaining myself, I'm tired of feeling alone with what I deal with, I'm tired of asking for help, I'm tired of people assuming they know what I live with everyday when they have no idea, and I'm tired of taking one pill after another. I feel like I have a pharmacy in my bedroom. My hairs coming out from the medicine. I'm tired of keeping a positive attitude all the time. I know todays just a bad day but sheesh I feel like pulling out the little bit of hair I have left, haha.

It has been a few weeks and I am still looking for that vacation!

I am sorry to hear about the mtx. side effects. I have been able to "push through it" with the advice of my doc. so that the side effects lessened eventually. However, they come and go. I chew a lot of pepto bismol tablets...
But, I wonder: have you already tried to switch to injectable mtx.? That helps some people. My doctor also increased my folic acid to help reduce the side effects.
I hear you: sick of being sick. And, sick of the whole invisible and evil disease. Yep.
Totally over it. Now would this nightmare please just end?!!!!!!
...Meanwhile, back in reality, nice to meet you, Jeanne.
Kelly

Oh, I hear you! I've lived with this thing for over 40 years now and the idea of having a break from it for a week is intoxicating. I try not to think about it too much, though - it just makes me want to bang my head against the wall.
