Do you have any tips on how to deal with pain and stiffness caused by lupus and fibromyalgia? There are different methods you can imploy. First of all, make sure you have a healthy diet. Lots of fruits & vegetables. Try to avoid a lot of processed foods, red meat, and wheat products. Omega 3 fatty acids can help, and this is found in fish oil - particularly, salmon. If you can, also try to exercise. Simple things like tai chi, stretching, or even yoga can help if you can't do regular aerobic exercise or weight training. I'd suggest trying to get a good liquid multivitamin as well. Other than that, there is traditional medicine. You can start with mild OTC meds like aleve, advil, etc. Some make special versions for arthritis. Otherwise, you can see a rheumatologist and try to get on some other medication that might suppress the diseases and hence relieve the pain and stiffness. Mangosteen has been found to help the sysmpyoms of fibromyalgia. Drink 3-4 oz per day on a daily regimen. Imagine the impact that the Mangosteen could have on people's well-being (based on the impressive patient reports of pain relief in musculo-skeltetal conditions) if it were widely used? drugs are dangerous and foods, as supplements, are not. http://www.mangosteen101.co.uk http://www.goxanthones.com J. F rederic Templeman M.D. pubmed.com I am 43, and 3 years ago was completely crippled with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, and had been since the age of 31. I had allergy testing done and found out I am allergic to wheat, soy, eggs, commercial dairy and peanuts. When I gave them up, I healed completely and within a matter of days. Consider having allergy testing done or keeping a food journal to see what make your symptoms worse. Whenever I cheat on the diet, the symptoms come right back. You can join my yahoo group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/foo... and read the files section to learn more if you like. Many others have healed using the same type of diet. Good luck and God bless. Email me if you like a friend of mine has lupus and had very irritated skin, with a lot of scabbing, etc. he looked for all sorts of cures and stumbled upon this high antioxidant supplement that has an ingredient shown to kill cancer cells in a lab. his skin is not perfect, but the main irritation and scabbing has subsided and he can enjoy life a whole lot more. he actually got me started on the drink and my minor aches and pains have been reduced. if you want to try it or learn more about it, i found it at www.healthybio.com http://www.healthybio.com |
