I've been living with RA for the last 3 years,My first year was so awful .The doctor's where trying to figure out what was wrong with me.I went for lung testing,x-rays over and over .I had pain from head to toe.The middle of my chest was very sore sometimes and my feet were so painful that i couldn't walk . I was in so much pain that i couldn't dress my self or even have a shower,I cried The first I spent time taking different pain killers and celebrex,then when i did get to see my Rheumatologist .He put me on stronger imflammatories ,I waited that out for a few months ,didn't help much,when i went back to see him,My RA was flared up pretty badly,so he came me a shot of Depo Medrol .That help within a hour ,I couldn't believe that it. I felt so good for about 6 weeks.
So then he added more medication ex: Methrotrexate,ketoprofen,Prevacid for my stomach and folic acid. As the months went by it help ,now another year went by and now i am on Plaquenil 30 mg a day ,that also help.But still to this day my wrist and hands are so sore sometimes I feel like cutting them off at the wrist.My shoulders are also sore and my feet sometimes too.The middle of my chest area act up once in awhile.I make sure that i protect my chest when i do go outside from the cool breeze and i also watch the way i move.If i move the wrong way..Ouch it hurts .Anyhow Recently someone told me that i should do a body cleansing ,cause we have so much Toxins in our body and our immune system is weakin from the RA and other diseases.They also suggested that people with RA should take 2 to 4 tablespoon of Flaxseed oil a day , and fiber and some vitamins and extra vitamin c and magnesuim,plus use a cleanser to cleanse our body.I read up on some cleanser.I am intested in trying this after the holidays just to see what happens,can't hurt ! it's all natural products.I have a little hope that something will help with this RA .I tired different meds and they do very little and they too are hard on the organs ,so why not try this.Just maybe getting rid of some Yucky stuff out of my body will help!!! P.S has anyone tried this body cleansing ?? Thanks for your time ...Mari
