Arthritis

Submitted by gemagema on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 11:32am

I think I have arthritis. I'm not really sure that is what it is. I had blood work done and the dr. said that my tests came back and everything was in normal range. My mother was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia around my age. She is thinking that is what I have. I've been using Red Sun Balm topical ointment from The Herb Finder which has helped with the pain. I'm looking for some other things that could be beneficial. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you click on the link that was automatically created underneath your posting "arthritis" you will find much of the information on the site related to arthritis.  You should, of course, see a practitioner before trying self-diagnose yourself in Chinese Medicine terms, but, while technical, our acupuncture treatment for arthritis section will give you more details on the way arthritis is viewed in Chinese terms.

If you are experiencing

If you are experiencing symptoms of pain, fatigue, and/or low mood these symptoms are often associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis, and also many other autoimmune conditions. There are many things you can do in the realm of self-treatment. All discomfort and disease is rooted in stress held in the body. Often the stress is not simply from immediate situations but can be related to trauma from many years earlier, or even carried in ancestral lines in the DNA! One of the books that talks about this very clearly is Spontaneous Evolution by Bruce Lipton and Steve Baerhmann.

Donna Eden has many energy exercises that can help you if you do them on a regular basis. I don't know where you are located, You can find a practitioner on a directory on the website www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com. There are also many video's posted to the internet that you can find if you google "Donna Eden".

I have many articles posted on this website that you might find useful. Just search the site for my name and a list will come up for you to peruse.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue are just two of a number of autoimmune conditions that I have been diagnosed with. More important than the name of the diesease entity is addressing the underlying causes.

Good luck to you!
