Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Hello. A friend of mine suggested that I look into GettingWell, so I joined this list about a week ago and have been reading. Figured it was time to introduce myself and to ask for help in finding good, and hopefully positive information on auto-immune disorders in particular. This past year, my life plans were sidetracked by what the doctors first called a Parvo B19 virus, the Lupus, then an undiagnosed arthritic condition. I'm awaiting more tests, and have for the time being chosen not to take the Plaquenil (SP?) that my rheumatologist suggests for Lupus patients, although my shins and feet are in pain continually. I am taking Condroitin Complex with MSM, Fish Oil caplets, SAMe, B12, and Selenium at night. I have been taking Naproxin twice daily, but this only deals with the symptoms so that I can function at all as a mom of three every day. I decided to come into the conversation at the mention of the Flax oil, which I was taking for a week, but in a smoothie. I stopped it because of the horrible stomach aches it caused, which lasted for hours afterward each time. Will taking it in the cottage cheese (This is called Quark, right?) help? Also, all helpful info on lupus type disorders would be appreciated greatly. Thanks, Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
