Hi All,
I'm trying to help one of my sisters with some physical problems. I do not know of any medications she is taking but they are several, as well as the list of problems she has.
What I'm hoping to do is get some recommendations of how to ease her out of her issues, but not counteract the meds she is on. She does have the internet, so I don't quite follow why she won't come here herself and try and get some help first hand.
I probably could go through her various symptoms and search them up and if that is what is recommended, than I apologize for being lazy. The following conditions are what doctors have said she has:
Primary Sjogens (or Sjogers, can't tell if it is N or R)
Fibermyalgia (Fibromyalgia?)
Ulcerative Colitis
Diverticulosis
Ocular Migraines
Carpal Tunnel
Cervical Fussion (Fussion?)
Degenerative Disk Disease
Erothema Nodosum
Osteo Arthrisis (Arthritis?)
Thyroid Sergery (Her Note: Growth size of a mans thumb)
(L) Signoid Dectomiy (not sure on Dectomey I or E)
For months I have tried coxing her into slowly getting into the far infra-red-blanket, starting with 10-15 minutes until she can work into getting stuff sweated out, she says "Fatty Liver" and ..I don't know I'm really worried as I see her degenerating more and more and see the inflammation growing. 10-12 years ago she was lean, strong, healthy and attractive and I think she could get back to that if she didn't leave herself a medical experiment. She lives disabled, raising two boys.
Any natural help would be good and perhaps better coming from someone experienced and knowledgeable, though I have printed out stuff for her before and I don't think she read it, I will do it again and hope she takes the advice. I'd really appreciate any tips or links provided and will respond with any info I have if there are any questions. I feel like I'm asking a lot, since I don't know what half of the above symptoms refer to. I've told her about the forum here on several occasions.. I think I need to get her laptop out of her closet and get it on the internet.. but she has a right to decide what she will or won't do in her house. I feel helpless watching her month after month go a little farther. She doesn't accept the idea that the medical guy see's her or her 30 odd prescription as a paycheck. She seems to be coming around, but at this rate she'll be pushing up daisy's before she realizes she is someone's gunny pig. Meaning I think she's waking up, but the rate might not be fast enough to have any affect on her continued debilitation.
It's difficult for me since I want to help her on one hand, but also understand that she has a right to go about her life as she see's fit. :/
