Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

Hen or egg?

Most of the Doctors just look at a symptom and treat it the way they think;  - they know it all.  Then, the diagnose comes, like an etiquette of a product. Does someone looks what is behind the symptom?  Which is the cause, and the cause of this cause?

One Doctor -cardiologist-  saw me and when he found out I was multisymtomatic gave me some pills for the anxiety, nothing else. 

Miserable & worried. Heat Shock Protein or Die Off or Both? Sudden "flu" symptoms & inflammation after several good months.

I would sure appreciate it if anybody out there further along into treatment could give me some rational for my oddly timed symptoms and inflammationi.  I’m excessively and unusually miserable (flu like) all of a sudden after several months of no symptoms.  I finally am assuming  die off but confused why now suddenly out of the blue, and why so much inflammation?  Is there anything I should or can do about the inflammation?  Why are there red inflamed areas at my temples? I've been on doxyi and 250 mg Biaxin 2

Pulse 2...(five days post-pulse)

Blogging for the record....  My second pulse was  1-250 mg of Tinii for 4 days.... May 24-27, 2008

1.   First two days I noticed an increase in energy

2.  Day 3  my LEFT knee and hip became painful and stiff. Up until this point I have not experienced problems with my left leg, it's been all in my right knee and sacriliac .   I could barely walk and was unable to go up or down stairs.   I still have major problems with my right leg - knee (can't squat or bend, difficulty walking up stairs.)

2.  Again increase in coughing... as well as chest congestion - benedryl helps

3.  Red rimmed/watery eyes.

4.  Third day I had a really bad headache (and I usually don't get headaches)

falling apart...

I was on the NACi/600mgs for about three days then increased to 1200mgs and pow!! my world came to a halt. It was hard to walk and function at all, so Nac was stopped and I started doxyi.100/day. My face is all puffy and once again the weakness, high heart rate and so on.....makes me useless and barely functionable. Is this the begining or the end? this is a tough journey. What is a good anti-inflammatory medication that can help with the vasculities per weldon protocol?.

LPS protection -- Cheap!

Plant Flavonoid In Celery And Green Peppers Found To Reduce Inflammatory Response In The Brain

At least I like celery. Can't bear green peppers, though. Bell peppers, anyway -- jalapeno, now, that's a different story.

Anyway, they combat the inflammationi brought on by LPS in the brain.

introduction and inquiry about topicals

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I was not able to locate information referencing contraindications to my Rx topicals.

Please pardon me if this is covered elsewhere.

I'll start with a bit about where I'm at and have been.

Mental

I'm a graphic designer who works from home. I have a happy homelife and a positive worklife. I believe that i am a healthy person, I just do not physically feel like one. I have long suspected that everything I experience is tied together, so am really happy to see this Web site. I want to live my life again: I want to go outside into the sunshine; ride a bike; shop in a store!



Physical

To Benicar or not to Benicar?

The doc has talked about upping my azi dose now. But because my blood pressure is still somewhat erratic at times I'm kind of freaked out about aggravating it with a higher azi dose. She's mentioned Benicar a couple of times. She says it's good because it will not only calm the bp but reduce the inflammationi. But I'm concerned about that too since my bp does not stay high consistently. It can fluctuate from normal to high and back again literally within minutes. What will Benicar do when my bp is not at the high state? Will it drop too low and will I end up passing out driving to work and smashing into a tree?

Interruption of ABX – Waiting for Biopsies

Sunday night I went to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain (upper/lower left quadrant, front and back – [as an aside, I have experienced pain on my left side since almost the beginning of my ABXi in April of last year –2007].  I kept contributing the discomfort to possibly die off and/or my spleen.  My dr. could never find anything on x-rays or a cat scan, so I just kept plodding along, as it was not intolerable.

FMS symptoms, besides pain meds??

Good afternoon!

I've been having fibromyalgiai symptoms for the past 4 days- neck, left shoulder, back of head, band across my head from 1 temple to the other, down my spinal cord. I haven't dealt with fibro symptoms in several years and I can't remember what I can do to relieve my pain and stiffness.

I've been taking Lortab (Hydrocodone with acetaminophen) and/or Ultracet, aspirin, using a topical analgesic oil rub and a moist heat wrap. I'm also stretching. I've considered the chiropractor and massage therapist just haven't made appointments yet.

antibiotics

Ive heard it all !! Here we go again , Just switched doctors because the last one was a complete moron. I was hoping this one was a bit more on the ball as to what is happening all around us ! wrong! I was advised that there is nothing wrong with me and that getting better with this treatment is all in my head . He can not support what I am doing and is willing to treat me for physcological problems if I wish. Holy shit ! Its all in my head! No doctors have had an explenation for why my heart was going all out of wack or what is causing the dizzy spells or the vision problems ,or the spactisity or for that matter why my whole family is sick with chronic coughs ,sinus infectionsi , spastic jerking, and so on!

CPN in Synovial Fluid????

Over the past 3 days my walking has gotten progressively worse.  My right knee is so swollen and painful I can't bend or move it. When I walk I try to "make up" for my peg leg with my good leg... now my left leg is starting to give me pain.  I had a dr. appt and he seems to think it's bursitis.  My FM symptoms are also worsening... again this all started with the addition of Azith.  Katman, I know you said you had extreme joint pain/problems..... anyone else?

MRS.

I am Hilly and have been suffering from Lyme Disease and other tick related diseasesi for some time.  I also have Morgellons, and feel I probably have chlamydia pneumonia although it has'nt been diagnosed as such.  

pulse 10

I finished pulse 10 on wed. 4 x 500 1x 1000. yes that's right folks you read it right 1000. The usual pattern .....disrupted sleep,depression (milder) ,anxiety (also milder). It fools me while I am taking it that I am handling it., ugh the week after. This time I am having pretty good chills and pain in my calve muscles. I hope it ends like it has the last 3 times at 6 days and improvements follow. On a side note my saliva is better not normal yet but much more comfortable.

Question -Actos

 Hello everyone,

  Well im 5 weeks into doxycycline now 300 mg day. The first few weeks I was like good, Im doing good, not getting sick. Then POW! Started with a bit of weakness and then went full blown to bit of everything. Havent left bed much in 2 weeks.

 Saw doc today, he gave me actos. Ive read about these meds for the anti inflammatory deal, so I know its used and why. But it is a blood sugar regulator as well. I wouldnt take it but I really need to not be so weak/sick.

 My ears even hurt.... Like I have ear infection. I havent had ear problems since I was a kid.

 Curious if actos worked for any of you.

minocyline instead of another abx?

I am on the wheldon protocol for MSi, and keep reading of the abxi minocycline. I was wondering if it could be used instead of the doxyi or roxyi? or if it could be added to the regimine? I would prefer to replace an existing medication over adding, just to cut down on pills i have to swallow. Im starting to gag.
