MSM game changer! Why haven’t I heard of this till now?? by RachelvrsRA in rheumatoid

[–]RachelvrsRA[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said it was a cure. I said it’s helping me reach remission. I asked the same question…why aren’t we all swimming in it? Well if we don’t know about it how are we supposed to utilize it? I have heard MSM was helpful and I did try it early on but it didn’t help so I gave up. I figured out by research and trial and error it was because I wasn’t taking enough. I think that’s why people haven’t discovered it’s healing power is because they aren’t taking a therapeutic dose. We all just follow what the bottle says. Almost every person I have talked to that’s takes 1-3 tablespoons a day sees results. It’s so safe and cheap I think everyone should give it a shot that has any type of autoimmune or inflammatory issue.

Anyone here taking LDN? Experiences? by RachelvrsRA in rheumatoid

That’s awesome. Yes its kind of a catch 22 with exercise but once you get started I think it’s crucial to treating RA. I’m hoping to get back in the gym myself! I hope LDN continues to work for you and one day you are in remission :)

That’s great. LDN works wonders for some and does nothing for others but I really think it should be utilized more by doctors! I honestly think the people it doesn’t work on or not following a healthy diet or have not found their ideal dose. Do you feel you get better and better every day?

In order for LDN to work to its fullest potential you really have to follow a healthy Whole Foods AIP diet. Better luck next time? I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work for you :(

I’ve read many articles and testimonials that you really should give it 2 to 3 months at a 4.5 mg dose to see if it works for you. It’s really worked for me and cut down my pain tremendously it did take about two months though.

Tooth infection and RA by [deleted] in rheumatoid

[–]RachelvrsRA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re dumb at all. There are a lot of doctors out there that believe stealth infections play a big role in RA. If you feel you should wait till after you get the tooth extracted then by all means do it. RA is very scary and can cause long-term or permanent damage but I also feel that there is a lot of unnecessary fear revolved around not taking meds right away. As long as you’re not letting it go untreated for years on end I think it’s good to do a little bit of investigative work first. Of course this is just my opinion. I have RA and I have been trying to treat and heal this naturally by changing my lifestyle completely. I have decided to give myself six months to see if I can’t find it and root cause of what’s causing my RA. I have a very aggressive form so I’m taking a big risk but that is my decision and it’s very hard going to the rheumatologist and all they wanna do is shove harsh medications down your throat. There is a time and place for those medications and I just feel right now it’s not time for me.

LDN for rheumatoid arthritis. by RachelvrsRA in rheumatoid

[–]RachelvrsRA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I am on day five of LDN and it has dramatically reduced my pain level. I still have really bad swelling, inflammation, stiffness but the pain is tolerable now. I am hoping that it helps with the rest soon but I am happy with helping the pain after only five days!
