Avatar f tn Recently found 2 ticks on my body, but no rash. Have had osteoarthritis for years (or LD) and symstems have gotten worse. Also, a western blot showed 3 of 5 criteria postive for Lyme. Are these results because I still have antibodies of the disease in my blood, or could this be a whole new bout of LD?

16237877 tn?1446544835 Some herbal treatments for knee pain may be taken orally, while other herbs are applied topically in the form of a paste or cream. The cause of your knee pain largely dictates the type of herbs used. If you have knee osteoarthritis, for example, you may benefit from using boswellia, ginger, turmeric and white willow bark. Bromelain is believed to be an effective herbal remedy for soft tissue inflammation and pain relief.

Avatar f tn i have been through the ringer with herbs for my anxiety, as your anxiety is mild herbs would be a perfect combination for you. i use ashwagandha and brahmi, these are great auyervedic herbs for anxiety and depression.the ashwagandha definitely needs to be used the brhami though to feel the full effect, and give it at least 2-3 weeks before you feel a difference. i didnt like valerian or passionflower but they may work for you, everyone is different.
377521 tn?1203473172 silymarin was one of the herbs I used which slowed the damage down a bit for me. I took another year than advised to spend with my daughter before starting tx when my liver was quite badly scarred didn't grow any worse that year but didn't cure me either .
Avatar n tn Hi it is my first time ever posting on a forum, i need help and advise as to the best way to get help and treatment for pain that im in.
Avatar f tn Treatment of Osteoarthritis consists of exercise, manual therapy, lifestyle modification, medication and other interventions to alleviate pain. If these fail then you go for surgery. Joint replacement surgery may be required. Individuals with very painful OA joints may require surgery such as fragment removal, repositioning bones, or fusing bone to increase stability and reduce pain.
Avatar n tn I also know that the wrong supplements and herbs can cause success to be delayed. I would check with your OB and see if the herbs are right for your specific case. It doesn't matter how great a deal if it won't help or could possibly delay your efforts. Best wishes and sending baby dust back your way!
Avatar m tn There are some other drugs that are still in trial that will cut treatment time down and give you better odds at clearing the virus.As far as herbs, I would rather use herbs myself because I do believe in herbs and supplements, but unfortunately, they cannot be counted on for getting a cure at this time - maybe someday if there is more research in that area - but not at this time.

1069378 tn?1255215132 Has anyone used acupuncture successfully to eliminate the pain from osteoarthritis? Does anyone know which treatment has had more success treating the pain of osteoarthritis, acupuncture or synvisc injections? Any help is appreciated.
532065 tn?1213149801 ve always taken my Synthroid. I never miss taking my medication. Now I have osteoarthritis and it is rapiedly getting worse. In the past year my dr has lowered my dose from .125 daily to .112. Since then I have gained weight and the arthritis in my fingers is getting worse very rapidly and I am wondering if there is a link between the two. I know that the Hashimoto's disease affects my autoimmune system do you think that it can be making my arthritis worst.
Avatar m tn I have not heard of those herbs but I am also treating with herbs (along with the antibiotic) and have noticed the most improvement when on the herbs. However, I DO think antibiotics are needed at some point to get this thing under control.
Avatar f tn The only thing you have to worry about is not taking Vitamin K especially because it causes blood clotting while on aggrenox. The other natural blood thinners include vitamin E, garlic, onions, and vitamin C because they also thin blood. That's why doctors tell you not to take these vitamins before an operation. My mother had a stroke about 5 months ago and we are considering opening the blood thinning aggrenox capsules and giving her half the dosages with applesause.
Avatar m tn A better anti-inflammatory is turmeric, and usually ginger will be found in formulas combining standardized ginger with standardized turmeric. If you want to use non-standardized herbs, which are more natural, ginger is best used juiced and raw, but it's hard to get enough of it that way if you want to use it for inflammation as extreme as arthritis. Candied ginger is actually pro-inflammatory, because sugar increases inflammation and candied has lots of sugar in it.
Avatar m tn I just started my S/O treatment and my Chinese doctor suggests to add Chinese herbal protocol for Hep.C to the treatment. Is anybody think that this combination can be beneficial? What about contradictions of using them together?
