[quote:HairyBarbarian:MV8zNDgwNjI5XzYyMTA3MjIwXzU3Mzg4MThF] I have polyarthritis including rheumatoid arthritis. I try to be good and have ginger and what have you turmeric - i buy the stuff and make it up then forget it is there as my memory is in ruins too - and the exhaustion is terrible - I am getting over anaemia too - so not had energy for so long - i find vitamin B gives me a boost and i am also taking vitamin D and 305mg iron but i feel there are other mineral deficiencies too - its hard when you're tired to sort yourself out. My feet and legs get so sore - something that is really good for the imflammation - last year i stood in a freezing cold stream in wales and i stayed til it hurt - just for the experience of feeling - and omg my feet were bliss after this for a couple of weeks - so if you get polystyrene cups and fill with water and freeze and do ice massage - takes guts but you stop feelign the cold after a while - I recently read that salt - sea salt and.... epsom salt foot baths are supposed to help - i bought the ingredients but not done it yet - it says hot water for that one to absorb the magnesiu i think also - and i know this is cray - the worst my fingers and wrists got a couple of years back - i could barely hold anything or open anything or hold a plate to wash - it ws very scary - but I took the pain and T-cut my car inch by inch - and it was like a miracle - kind of like doing the opposite to what you think to do - you might think you would make it worse not help it but it helped. I also had fluid retaining in my back and my friend did a fluid drainage massage - the fluid drained from my back to my knees and ankles which swelled and it was awful - i couldn't go up or down stairs - but when it drained away after a few days - it was wonderful so maybe there was a lymph blockage - i wish i had someone to massage me - the pain is constant but massage really reallly helps. I also have some liquid chlorophyl and eat coconut oil or hemp oil when i remember - i try to put things where i will see them so i will remember - i forget a lot. xx [/quote]
Original Message
Both of us almost 40. She is sad and scared. It would appear that medication and diet can basically keep these conditions in check. Kind of a shock to our system as we got together in our 20's and now it feels to both of us that she is almost old overnight, my heart hurts for her.
Anyone here have any tips or deal with either of these conditions?
