Hi Everyone,
I have been off of them for over a week. I do take Valium for the muscle spams and to help me get to sleep.

I have been taking a herb called Boswellia.

My pain levels are about 3-4 when they used to be a 10.

I am so thankful. Hugs, Roz

WOW that is brill!! I really really really hope that is continues!!!!!!

Hi Deb,
I started putting turmeric and ginger on everything I ate about 2 months ago. After a little while I noticed my inflammation going down some. (cytokines)

Another thing I do is drink Aloe Vera 2 x a day to fluse the toxic cells out of my body. About 2 1/2 oz at a time.

I started taking the reg pain tablet in the morning, and 250mg of Boswellia in early evening. If are hearts and lungs are effected with RSD in my hairdressig opinion we need to go slow, so it's not 2 steps backwards. That is how I got off the pain tablets. I have been on just about everything for years.

Now the last eight days I am taking 500mg a day, of Boswellia. I have been completely off oxy. I take 250 in the morning and 250 in the early evening. I am also keeping up with the ginger and turmeric on my foods and drinks.

Call me paranoid, but I Monitor my heart regularly as well through out the day. If anything is out of range I drink red wine (Merlot). The French have low heart problems. Big Huge Hugs, Roz

Just a reminder- if you are taking any other meds check with your doc about any possible interactions.
and-
in the stickys there is a few drug interaction checkers - they include herbs and vitamins I believe also on them.

PS - forgot to add - way to go Roz!! that is awesome.

Hi Rosie,
I want you to know about 25 months into RSD I was bedridden. I was to weak to even attend a art class. I could no longer take care of myself at all at that time.

Today I am able to walk up and down the stairs and drive some. I had to go very very slow.

Big Huge Hugs, Roz

Jo is right check with a MD. Hugs, Roz

Roz,
Can you tell me what brand you are taking as these supplements are not FDA regulated and I want a trusted brand

Thanks

Debbie

Hi Deb,
I have been taking the Himalaya brand.

I also forgot to mention. one day I take NAC , and the following day CoQ10 these are both at very low doses. I take them for more like a prevention thing going on in the future.

As far as the turmeric and ginger go, I put the turmecic in soups and the ginger in some salads and carrots juice drinks at small amounts.

To Are Health, Roz
