Friends and family didnt know what it ment when three year old me couldn’t bend or stretch, had trouble walking felt to stiff to even run with the little kids. Doctor to doctor, nurse to nurse would we ever find the cure? As the doctors words rolled off his tounge in sorrow”I believe your daughter had juvinal rumitowed arthritis” the parents cried to hear the awful news thinking”dear god what are we going to do?” X-ray to X-ray, as parents wait and pray. Never screaming or fussing through all the rushing doctors, kids, patients, parents. “does that hurt?” doctor asks but at last I timidly say “just a little” not wanting to give all pain away to the ones worrying for me and praying there hearts away. Now I’m five and fifty five pounds never want to eat never want to frown. Medicine to medicine always hurting or tasting bad but I always took it with a slight gag. Braces and braces on so many areas can’t sleep cause of them. Wake up in the morning crying “mommy,sissy take the pain away!” they just try to help In anyway possible with tears in eyes not try hide. Eventually and it’s gone and the usual smile returns to my over tired, over worked, over skinny face where it will stay for the long days and days ahead that I would quietly dred inside my head. Watching ballerinas on tv wishing that’s what I could be. “mommy I want to take ballet” she looks with saddened eyes knowing it wouldn’t work saying “honey someday we will” letting her down easy without a dought knowing she is sad. Longs days, mornings, evenings, nights have past till finally the arthritis has passed. Everyone full of joy me running up the down the hospital halls faintly hearing the doctors small voice”it can return but she should be fine” parents are happy to at least know there little girl can enjoy being little again.Ten years old in dance and people already couldn’t stand a chance. Working hard with all my might wanting to get each move perfecly right.

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis which is a chronic condition and there is no cure. Despite the fact that her condition was permanent, the state required her to regularly be evaluated by a doctor. My mother was unable to make one of these appointments due to lack of transportation and the nature of her disability. Within one month, she was cut off completely. The county that she lives in had sent her a letter telling her that she would be cut off if she didn’t show for the appointment, but gave her no option to reschedule. She lives in a remote town, so there was no way for her to go. And I was not able to help her at the time either.

My mother became so frustrated with the headache of these “appointments” and decided to fight the issue. That was nearly 9 years ago. I always felt that she grounds for legal action. Does she have any options in this regard? I am especially worried how she will manage if her condition worsens.

I am 22 years old and in 2002 I went to the doctor for knee pain and had X-rays and MRIs to look at my knee and the doctors all told me that I had rheumatoid arthritis in my knee and that there was no real cure to fix my knee. So I had to stop playing baseball and basketball because it hurt too when I ran because the knee pain was just too much to handle.

So just about 2 months ago in December 2010 I went to a new doctor to have them look at my knee again and the doctor gave me an X-ray and MRI and found that it was just knee bursitis and she gave me a cortizone shot and sucked the fluid out of my knee and my knee feels great now and I can run with no pain now.

I was wondering if I had any kind of case against my first doctor who gave me the wrong diagnosis, since that doctor gave me no hope of getting my knee fixed and cost me playing baseball and basketball throughout my high school career and maybe even earning a scholarship for one of those sports.

Thanks
@ Bob’s statement

I had only gone to one doctors office and they told me I had rheumatoid arthritis I just had two doctors looking at me but it was through the same doctors office, so that is what I meant when I said “the doctors all told me” I meant the two doctors at the same doctors office who were looking at me.

My Doctor prescribed vitamin D2 1.25 mg tablets for me.?
He told me my vitamin D2 level was 7, and should be between 30-80. I take 300 mg of phenytoin at bedtime. Any concerns I should have about taking this medication. And how long will it take my level of vitamin D to be where it should be? I’m 54 years of age.

Below was chosen The Best Answer?? And what does this mean to me???!!!

The prescription vitamin D supplements are the wrong type (ergocalciferol vit.D2). As warned by the National Institute of Health -

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17023…

Luckily you can buy vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) over the counter and the upper limits are extremely high. Current recommendations are for 35iu per pound – a 150# person needs minimum of 5250iu per day & the rda is 400iu. This amount is for minimal needs and does not account for depleted stores. March is when stores are at their lowest.

Vitamin D3 deficiency is becoming an epidemic. U.S. RDA are much too low. It is possible that upper atmosphere pollution is blocking the needed UVB light from the sun.

Vitamin D3 is not a vitamin at all but a necessary hormone that effects the immune system & nearly every aspect of health. Having low Vitamin D levels greatly increases risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, MS & being deficient can create or greatly exacerbate health problems.

I have Fibromyalgia -Vitamin D3 supplementation has cleared the constant muscle pain. I did high levels for 3 weeks & was pain free. I knocked the dose down to 2000iu’s a day & a week later the pain was back. After restarting high levels, the pain is managed again after 3 days.

I personally did 35,000iu per day for 2 months trying to refill my stores. It is highly recommended that you have your vit.D levels tested but my research shows toxicity only at outrageous, long term levels.

I originally did B12 injections daily for a couple of years & then I tried guaifenesin (Dr.St.Amand’s protocol) for 10 years but discovered vit.D3 supplementation only recently & that has worked better than anything else!

I also highly recommend a low carb way of eating to allow the body to regenerate rather than degenerate.

Dr. Joe Prendergast, an endocrinologist /diabetologist has managed over 1500 diabetic patients and, in the last decade, not one of his patients has had a stroke or heart attack. Only one has even been hospitalized! His secret—50,000 units of Vitamin D3 daily. Dr. Joe further reports:

* Reversal of advanced coronary disease
* Reversal of advanced lung disease, avoiding a lung transplant!
* Cure of multiple sclerosis
* Cure of amotrophic lateral sclerosis
* Regression of rheumatoid arthritis
* Improvement in allergies
* Control of many cancers including prostate, breast, colon, brain tumors, leukemia, myeloma, etc
* Reversal of osteoporosis
* Prevention of influenza
* Cure of depression and many other mental disorders
* Hashimoto’s hyperthyroidism

In summary, the evidence for safety and remarkable efficacy of Vitamin D3 suggests that virtually ALL adults should probably take 50,000 units of D3 daily. This is certainly true for those with virtually any illness.

If this plant were real should it be legal?
If a single plant could cure cancer, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy and seizures, arthritis, autism. If it could help develop brain cells, stop future Alzheimers, be used as pain reliever. Create bio fuel,clothing, and paper cheaper than materials we use. Be used to take place of plastic while being biodegradable. And the seeds help slow cholesterol.

Would you like to have this plant a recourse if it were real?

Since Merck doesn’t make it anymore, is there a country or company somewhere that makes the generic Rofecoxib? My mom has horrible arthritis and is in constant pain. Nothing else has worked, but vioxx was a miracle drug for her! It also cured my back pain.

hi thanks for your interest i have got all medical reports to send to charity’s if they need evidence

I have a few questions for you that are crucial, and may lead to a cure:

1) Do you or have you ever smoked?
2) what is the severity level of your pain from a scale of 1-10 with 10 being completely immoble
3) do certain foods make you sick?
4) Do you drink?
5) what age did RA start for you
6) where do you feel pain?

If you answer just 1 question that’s good enough for me, if you can answer these questions for someone else that’s good to.
oh and do you take anything with nicotine, such as nicorete gum?

A certain amusing UK-trained osteopath was busted recently for falsely claiming to be a doctor (he protests: “I only use the title occasionally”).

To deflect criticism, he charges that skeptics mock only obsolete osteopathic treatments. As usual, he’s missed the point. The object is to demonstrate osteopaths’ continuing inadequate criteria for evidence. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy, claimed, for example, to absolutely cure yellow fever, malaria, diphtheria, rickets, piles, diabetes, dandruff, constipation and obesity, all through physical manipulation. He also claimed absolutely to be able to grow 3″ of hair on a bald head in one week, also through physical osteopathic manipulation.

So, was Still lying, or was he delusional? Which is it? Probably both. Still was widely judged (even by his own family) of being mentally ill. Almost all the biographical data in Still’s highly amusing autobiography has been found false or grossly exaggerated (this seems to be a common pattern among osteopaths…).

The point is, delusion and sloppy standards of evidence are regular characteristics of UK-pattern osteopathy even today. Take, for example, today’s Cranial Osteopathy (or its close cousin craniosacral therapy, or several other variations). Practitioners, (such as our bogus “doctor”) convince themselves they can place their fingers on a patient’s skull and command brain fluids to change direction, this “facilitating” some vaguely positive change in the body. Cranial osteopaths claim TODAY to treat the following diseases with cranial osteopathic skull feel-ups:
allergy, arthritis, asthma, autism, birth trauma, bone disorders, bronchitis, cerebral palsy, colic, depression, digestive problems, dyslexia, hormonal imbalance, impotence, infertility, rheumatism, spinal curvature, stroke, cancer, and many other diseases.
(Incidentally, the Advertising Standards body of the UK recently told them to stop making these bogus claims).

So what do responsible (mostly USA-based) Osteopaths think of Cranial Osteopathy and its variants? Two professors at University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine:

“Our own and previously published findings suggest that the proposed mechanism for cranial osteopathy is invalid and that interexaminer (and, therefore, diagnostic) reliability is approximately zero. Since no properly randomized, blinded, and placebo-controlled outcome studies have been published, we conclude that cranial osteopathy should be removed from curricula of colleges of osteopathic medicine and from osteopathic licensing examinations”.

Osteopathy, as practiced in the UK (and unfortunately among too many USA-based osteopaths) remains deeply quacky and delusional. So, if as some osteopaths claim, A. T. Still was not a liar, do they believe osteopathic manipulation can cure baldness?

My hands really REALLY hurt when i pick things up . I take ballet and when Im at the bar it hurts to grab it as well. I don’t know what to do if i do have it! My mom says i probably do because i crack my knuckles. But she says there’s no cure.
