Default Update

Hello!

After I posted my question, I called my Primary Doctor for a referral to a Rhemy, she wanted to see me first.

In our meeting she said she said that it is possible to have both (Osteo/RA) - one being an auto-immune disease. She ordered tests and a x-ray. Both were completed today, so now the waiting game starts.

She said what I have been doing to reduce arthritis symptoms have all been on target. Even the "Native" treatments I have used to try to eliminate the bone pain (Willow bark wraps, Birch bark and leaf wraps as the healing teas I drink.)

What is off - is the infection my body is fighting right now.

All the best

Kim

ps. Thank you to those that did answer....
