HELLO NICOLE,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY,
Nana
RA is nothing to mess around with.... you need conventional medicine and
maybe can add some vitamins, supplements that have been shown to work.
FOR SURE .R.A. IS NOTHING TO MESS WITH. YES, I HAVE DONE SUPPLEMENTS
OVER THE YEARS AND STILL DO.
What have you been doing for the RA since you were diagnosed?
I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 1986 .....I COULD WRITE A BOOK ON WHAT ALL I HAVE
DONE, I AM NOW WITH DR. DAVID WILLIAMS
What exactly is keeping you bedridden?
MY HIPS....
Pain, joint disfigurement, etc? As you know, RA disfigures your
joints and can serious problems.
] SURE DO KNOW.
I would think being bed ridden would be enough motivation to get to a
doctor.
I SURE HAVE, ONE COME TO MY HOME FOR 2 YEARS ..2XA WEEK
I have SLE and don't use a rheumatologist anymore but have found 2
family physicians who know their stuff.... and the rheumy is always
there if I need one.
WHAT IS SLE,?
I'm a christian woman also but no where does the bible say we aren't to
seek medical careM
OHHHHH FOR SURE. I DO HOPE I DID NOT GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION. WE ARE
NOT TO SEEK MEDICAL CARE.
I AM JUST CHECKING OUT TO SEE WHAT SOME OF THE WORLD IS DOING FOR THERE
R.A. JUST CURIOUS. THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY
LORD BE WITH YOU.

nana,
there are so many excellent treatments available for RA these days.
please talk to your rheumatologist about them. i'm mortified that you
are not on any medication.
my grandmother had RA (or a close cousin of it) back in the days before
there were good meds. she was bed/wheelchair-ridden with her hips and i
would hear her crying with pain at night. she only had bufferin to ease
her pain. there are many more things you can use today. please get
help.
