What i learned today | Arthritis Information
Today i learned that barbituates give you a headache. Well they make you sleepy also.
This is some doctors way of treating RA pain. LOL It isn't even funny. I see a new gp Tuesday. I just have to live that long. The deal is i had a family emergency. So that gives al the docs that do not want to treat me an out if i am out of state. The state of Georgia just wants me to go back where i game from. But if you want to get technical i am from Georgia.
But my old gp here retired many years ago.
It is the allergy problem. If i did not have that i would be in better shape. Anyway I was reading about Mobidic i check spelling. I can not take as it is an NSAID. But it gets rid of synoval fliud. Hmmm so does Sjorgrens syndrom. Hmmm maybe the Sjorgrens syndrom is why i get low potassium sometimes? Just a thought. Maybe that is why my body hates alot of meds it is so dehydrated. I am going to do some studing on this subject.
Things i have read recently that i know are not true. Someone posted a report i do not remember it said that arthritits had never been linked to an infection before. Then they said well Lyme disease was an infection. Well thats not true to be the only one as salmonella causes some people to get a type of arthritis. Just to say Lyme is not the only one. I mean isn't Salmonella an infection?
Alergy conection. Allergic reaction also cause prolonged joint pain some times. Hmmm and Sjorgrens syndrom causes joint pain also because it depletes the synoval fluid where it is needed in the joint ot protect it. Well i think thats what i learned but what do i know i am on headache pills that give you a headache. SO i am thinking NSAID'S are bad for your joints? That is my opinion. Easy for me to say as i can not take them. If you disagree or think i am nuts please reply with your opinions and knowledge.

Also i learned that they discontinued the study of NSAID''S long term use for treatment of Alshiemers. Because people where dropping dead from strokes. Food for thought. Long term use is something to think about. It if isn't good for the treatment of a fatal disease. Then why should people with RA take NSAID's long term. Milly - fascinating. Do you have a link to the Alzheimer's dropping dead from stroke thing? I just saw something that said it was good for it because it cuts inflammation. So...I'm intrigued.

Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen May Be Equally Effective At Reducing Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease
ScienceDaily (May 30, 2008) — Different types of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin, appear to be equally effective in lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to the largest study of its kind published in the May 28, 2008, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Experts have debated whether a certain group of NSAIDs that includes ibuprofen may be more beneficial than another group that includes naproxen and aspirin.

Lynn492008-05-30 01:59:35I think Milly is referring to the Vioxx Alzheimer study...the one that eventually led to Vioxx's removal from the marketPip just look up Diclofenac on Wikipedia. I feel asleep on the floor today. Which i never do. I reached up at some piont and put my glasses on the chair. An hour and a half later teh phone rang. A buisness call. I sat on my glasses. I am just thinking not a good idea to put someone with chronic fatigue syndrome on barbituates for paim. They are taped and very lopsided. Not to mention had to medicate my intestanal system today. Oh and i am not breathing so well. Just minor problems. Did i mention that i am in pain. Well i guess i am eating less. And my mucsles are a tad bit losser. Thtais two good things. Pip could you put the link up for me? I just know how to type. Well sometimes i can type. LOL
