"I can do this, I can do this."
hahaha! Your mantra sounds like mine - and also reminds me of a childhood cartoon that Jude used to watch... Thomas the Tank Engine, lol "I think I can I think I can" :D
So, we went, waited, and spent the entire day there.
Finally, our turn came...
He says, "You'll have to get these tests done elsewhere. It seems like it could be an autoimmune disorder, but there’s nothing I can do..."
OMGAAAAWD GrrrRRRrrRRRR!!!!!
Shame honey, it sounds like quite a bit of a journey. A frustrating one.
I realise that I am probably way out of my league here in terms of giving advice, because I am sure you have likely explored most everything in terms of relief solutions... and I think we may have even briefly had this discussion some months back - my memory fails me, lol - but have you considered taking a turmeric supplement daily? It is a fantastic natural anti-inflammatory.
I have osteo-arthritis and I realise that is an entirely different thing, but inflammation isn't - so perhaps it could aid in a little relief? It certainly has helped my neck seize ups.
I used to watch these cartoons too, even though I'm a lot older than Jude. ;)
Yes, I did take turmeric. One of my friends actually gave me pure turmeric powder that I used to mix with milk. It tasted great at first, but after a while, it started causing sores, so I stopped taking it that way. However, we still use turmeric powder in all our curries—it's a must!
Osteoarthritis was my initial diagnosis, but the X-rays revealed inflammatory arthritis. There were erosions in my finger joints, which helped in making the diagnosis. I'm now seeing a rheumatoid specialist.
Thanks so much for your kind words—they mean the world to me.
You know what? Steemit is so much better than those support groups I joined on Facebook and other channels. They were just too overwhelming for me.
This platform has given me a positive attitude, a great hobby, and above all, such good friends. The support you all show feels so genuine—it truly feels like real friendship. And that really does mean the world to me.
Love and hugs 💕
I cannot deny this either HAHAHAHA!!! :D but I definitely deny staring at the Teletubbies pointlessly for hours on end ;)
Okay. Thats odd. I would suggest that if you were willing to give it another try - that you actually purchase it from a homeopath. It was actually my brother who educated me to the fact that it should be a very specific amount, especially if you are going to take it as a supplement - AND - it is not turmeric, it has a few other things in it which actually work alongside the turmeric.
Shame love, thats awful :(
Things like that are priceless and yes, I actually agree with you wholeheartedly - some of the people I have become friends with online over the years ... I am closer to than my own family.
Mwah! Have a wonderful Tuesday sweets xxx
