I think that mornings are the time when I feel the most "in over my head". I know it is because that use to be my best time of the day. I would get up an hour before everyone and get my self geared...
Just a quick question. Does anyone feel worse around wood fire heat? I have never put the two together, but recently I was having an aweful day and when I went outside I slowly felt better. My house...
My husband recently told me that if I just believe in him...that he has my approval...my attention, he can do anything I need him to. I think that we need to encourage them sometimes. I can't imagine...
Oh girls those are great ideas! I will put them in effect and I will let you know how well they are working in a few days. I think I just neede to be reminded that I don't have to do it all...all the...
It isn't that I fear sending my kids to school. I really love home schooling. It gives me purpose and I look forward to it almost every day :) Besides if I put my 8 year old in school I would lose my...
It has been a funny week. I tried to experiment with adding some chicken back in to my diet. Usually I have a soy protein shake with my oats and fruit for breakfast...some sort of bean, tofu protein...
I am sorry you are going through so much. Many of your symptoms are similar to Lupus, but not specific to. Have you been to see a neurologist or rheumatologist? My biggest questions would be: are you...
I am sure I am not the only one who has caregivers that get frustrated with us being sick. My husband is just the best 99% of the time. I just feel for him when there is nothing he can do to fix it,...
Thanks for responding. To answer the above questions: I am terrified to try steroids...Diffused Speckled is my pattern which only means I have an Auto-Immune Disorder...My current program is working...
Part of my Lupus is muscle weakness. It was one of the first things I noticed when I was sick. I keep up on whatever exercise I can do...somedays it is more and somedays it is minimal. I hope that...
I just noticed that everyone puts down what their illness is and what meds they are taking. Lupus, Reynauds, IBS...extreme fatigue, neuropathy in upper and lower extremities, mental confusion,...
Yes, it is my ANA. They are crazy high. My dr. doesn't know why they are so high. But like he says, we treat the patient not the lab results. I just know I feel worse than when they were lower. I was...
I was just curious...does anyone else feel worse when their ANA's are high? Mine are double what they were in the fall (1:2430). For 3 months or so I felt better. Then wham 4 weeks ago I started...
Oh, girls I am just hurting so much for each of you. Before I was sick I use to think people should be able to pull themselves up by their seats and get over it. Boy was I wrong! I understand feeling...
Goldenseal tea works wonders for healing all sorts of sores. Brew it strong and swish it really well before swallowing. It also helps tremendously for ulcers brought on by all the meds we have to...
I am seeing a Rheumatologist and am on Plaquenil. I was taking Aleve (4pills a day) and gave myself an ulcer. When I drastically changed my diet to more whole foods, my inflamation and pain was...
Thank you so much for your reply. It was just what I needed. I am always amazed by God's timing. I am sorry you are not doing well at the moment. Good job working at taking the extra weight off....
