herbal help for rhumatoid arthrits and fibro

[Guest guest]

I recently lost my job and can no longer afford the meds that I was on

to control the pain of fibro and RA. can anyone out there recommend

something. I have taken tumeric, and it helped as well as the

essential vitamins, I try to avoid caffein with the occasional

exception to a cup of coffee, which REALLY messes with me.

they had me on topamax and ultram, both helped alot but the topamax is

$300 per month with no insurance. I also broke my back apx. 4 years

ago and have alot of HARDWARE in my lower back. with alot of pain as

well, which I didnt notice till going off the topamax. Ihave been off

the pain meds for apx 1 month, weaned down. but now with winter coming

upon us in Michigan, am REALLY feeling the pain.

thanks in advance

My wife has fibro with RA. She took triflex with Sam-e from GNC. It worked as

well as the celebrex that she had such a big hassel with the insurance company

with. A lot of foods made her hurt with the fibro. So she just eats the foods

she knows don't hurt. No soft drinks especially diet. And no eating out. She

still drinks a recuperate-ion ocasionally. And melatonin for sleep. And

excercise. Her body feels almost back to normal.

I have arthritis, and a bad back also...the one thing that has helped

me a lot is Coral Calcium...but it took over 2 weeks before I could

tell it....and some say it can take up to 3 weeks to get it into your

system...I couldnt afford the Barefoot brand..but found a generic

on ebay that I could afford..I take it every day without fail....

Hi,

St. John's Wort is good for pain, reasonably safe, and inexpensive.

I use it when I have pain or depression.

i have had fibro for a long time, diaognosed about 2 years ago. i have found

Myto-Tone to be very good for the pain. i have not had to take any dr.'s pain

meds. hope this helps you.
