Hope it works out mate, really do.

Just imagine; walking over to the pub is gonna be that much easier.

Hey Dowly. Hope your recovery is going well. I had eye surgery 2 weeks ago, I feel your pain. I got to be blind for a day, but all is back to normal.

Exactly. Now do you get it... young guy held up in bed for days fussed over by gorgeous nurses, loving it while thinking i could stay here for weeks! Hence: Stay away from the nurses...

Oh nvm!

Very good luck indeed!

Ofcourse he should, thinking about nurses in tight outfits, leaning over you to check on something, with their clea.... never mind, loosing my train of thought here.

The point I'm trying to make is that thinking about it is fine, acting on it not so much, but it might provide interesting ideas for what to do with the wife.

Dowly · 03-23-10, 06:27 AM

I'll happily stay away from the nurses, they've all been hit with the ugly-bat.

Anywho, it seems to be working very well. Pain that I usually have during the morning is now only a fraction of what it was before.

Reece · 03-23-10, 08:05 AM

That is very good news Dowly!

Is this for something that can be operated on, something time can cure or will you be stuck with this for life?

Rheumatoid arthritis is the fancy name and I'm stuck with this.

It's just about finding a drug that slows it down to a crawling speed so it won't damage the bones any more than it already has.

I have this it's hereditary, my mother had it so bad that her fingers were at 90 degrees on her hands, I am in my mid 50's and complaining with bulging knuckles, muscle and joint aches with wrist and elbows, also effects the eyes, I don't know your age I assume quite young so I earnestly feel for you, I have been avoiding drugs, a good natural product that helps is Olive Leaf Extract, fish oil of course, I'm testing another natural method, if I have success I'll PM you.

All the best.

Good luck with it!

Can't say I have ever even though about natural treatments, seeing every standard drug fail to help, I can't really think how fish oil would make any difference

Besides, it tastes like crap.

Arclight · 03-23-10, 10:34 AM

Ah, but doesn't the condition warrant to give it a try? If it helps, I doubt you will be complaining about the taste much longer.

Since it's something you're stuck with, throw everything you can at it.

Seriously man, try fish oil. It doesn't have to be in liquid form that doesn't taste very good, it's also in capsules and in foods. Also use lots of olive oil etc. in cooking. Eat french fries, they have grease in them.

I once went for some time by only putting cheese or something on the bread and no butter, made my knees and joints sort of freeze up. You need the oils etc. to 'lubricate' your joints. I'm surprised your doctor hasn't told you about this.

But then again you told earlier that you get water in your knees/joints? That I'm not sure what to do about. I sometimes get 'puffiness' and swelling in my knees when I overwork my knees at the gym but it usually goes away after I let them rest for awhile.

That's part of the disease. It's an auto-immune disease, so the fluid is caused by your own body attacking the fluid bag thingies in your joints which then damages the bones, which then agitates the joints and causes even more fluid to build up. There are drugs that should dry the joints, preventing the fluid to build up but those never worked for me.

As for the oil thing, I eat pretty greasy food most of the time, so that should be covered.

EDIT: Oh yeh, been having little fever most of the day.

Take it easy and chill out and remember to drink fluids. I would still recommend the fish oil in some form, it has the oils and also vitamins and nutrients in a better form then your average greasy not-so-healthy food.
