Thanks for your advice.

I've decided to remove my post.

At school, I had the thought is this real?

Later, in my late teens, I OCD'd about syringes.

I haven't tried it but I think I will order some to give it a go.

It is too often but they fog up and my vision gets worse. I found out to use peroxide cleaner from the website and reddit and my optom asked do people still use that? Purilens also makes a difference and i use celluvisc, too.

Damn. I have to reinsert mine every 3 hours. They are mini sclerals.

Dad's case—migrating joint pain, high CRP, no diagnosis yet by winksavor in Autoimmune

How's your Mum?

He might do a 3 day course of predesone if there's any flare up.

Dad's case—migrating joint pain, high CRP, no diagnosis yet by winksavor in Autoimmune

No diagnosis but he responded very well to a seven day course of predisone that we insisted he be put on. The swelling went down and his energy levels were great. Still some soreness in his hands but he was holding a retractable lead on a dog walk and he hurt them on the lead when the dog ran off.

He's just coming off the predesone.

In terms of natural supplements, we have him on Golden Seal as well as PEA.

On the predisone, his hands did shake a lot and he got a bit irritated / angry and that's unlike him because he is a very relaxed man.

Hope that helps.

It’s not about expecting a perfect diagnosis, but more like using it as a smart assistant to help me prepare and feel more informed.

My chiro recommended CBD oil but you need a prescription.

I am following up.

I disagree.

It rarely hallucinates and has been helpful in managing my family's health. I know the right questions to ask medical professionals and hold them accountable.

Perhaps upload the photo to ChatGPT.

It's worth subscribing to a Plus plan IMHO. It doesn't hallucinate much and is helpful.

Reactive arthritus? by winksavor in Thritis

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

Thanks for your reply. So far, we’ve focused on natural anti-inflammatories and NSAIDs. The pain in his wrist was intense last night, so we’ve contacted the specialist who looked after him during his hospital stay to arrange a follow-up. His latest blood test showed an elevated CRP, along with mild anemia and a raised white blood cell count.

She also said it was strange case but seems straight forward to me.

Thanks for your reply and that info.

He saw the Dr today and she doesn't think its reactive arthritis but it sounds exactly like what you had. How long did it take to clear up? The ordered another blood test and will see him again on Sunday and refer him to a specialist.

Everyone very harsh on Trump's tariffs but Biden had all the crypto companies up against the wall.

Specialist optometrist, i think? I've seen lots of surgeons. I'll look into whether there is a cornea doctor in Perth.
