Hello I have a question, before I had my test done.
I was giving Diclofen for the pain in my feet and to help with my neck hoping to keep arthritis's down.

It does help with my feet, and sometimes it helps my neck and headaches.

However now that I have this new problem. Should I discontinue it.

I don't trust my doc since he is not a lyme doc and waiting to hear back from the LLMD.

I realize no one can not tell me what to do, but I just was wondering if any one else was on this med to.

I see my cardiologist next month to go over test that I am having this Thursday, but he's not a lyme doc either.

There shouldn't be a problem with taking it as long as your heart is OK and your stomach can handle it.

My LLMD said NSAIDS damage cartilage.... so I don't know. Sure beats having pain....but....

I take curcumin, glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM for pain.

Ive used diclofen and its my favorite pain releiver. Be sure to take B vitamins with it as it may deplete some Bs. When you purchase it in Mexico it comes with a B vitamin mixed in.

I have had a similar concern. NSAIDS do dink with the immune system and the immune system gets dinked with enough from Lyme.

I only use it if the pain keeps me from sleeping. For headaches I use the homeopathic remedy called Gelsenium homaccord that for some reason is no longer offered at iherb or smallflower. Its great for headaches of the occiput, neck and shoulder orgin and is totally nontoxic.

For more upper or frontal headaches Spigleon works great and thats still at iherb.

Half the recommended dose always works for me.

Remember, homoepathy is not dose size dependent but repitition of doses can be helpful. 10 dropps is no better than 5, or two pellets no better than one. Some times I have to repeat the dose in 15 minutes.

Thanks you, They did give me a medicine for my stomach if it bothers me; so far, so good.

I have had very low Vitamin D it was a 8. We have been able to get it up to 30

However as soon as I stop taken my prescription vitamins in with a month it drop again.

I guess lymes would explain why? because the doctor not been able to figure it out why it was happen.

however my all of my Vit-B were good and I have been check for metal and some toxins and they were good, one cooper came a little back low

Not Wilson diseases

But they only thing off was my D. It weird because my PCP is a health nut and when he said he did not no what to do anymore

he wanted me to go see a neuropathic doctor, I should have went they would have probably found it quicker and I would've been being treated.

However in Ohio insurance does not cover it so I was not able to go do to money issues.

My poor husband is working 14 to 16 hours now a day because I cannot work, due to this illness.

I really nee to get better. Before he is sick.

I called a LLMD to get in to see one, I am still waiting to her back. Maybe I should call again.

I hate answer machine, always wonder if they get the message.

If I don't hear by tomorrow I will call Friday.
