Could Use Some Of Your Prayers   

Hello there my friend. Its the only gift that I can share with. And now I am praying that the Lord will extend His hands to your and ease the pain that you are feeling right now. You know that apart from God we are nothing and we put our trust in HIm that he will assume the pain that pain that you are feeling right now. Just trust in Him and He will be your help. I would like to share this verses form the Bible, hope this would help.

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through right now. You will definetly be in my prayers for you to get better.

I'm so sorry your hurting again Pye, I'll keep you in my prayer's daily. Hope I can help with my prayer's...Lori

Isn't that always the way of things, pyewacket? What's good for us is too expensive, and what's bad for us is really cheap, lol. I have many problems with joint pain also, due mostly to bone breakage I have accumulated over the years. I have always heard that a good soak in Epsom Salts is beneficial for joint pain, and there's also the stinky rubs that you can buy over the counter. Mostly, I just bear with mine until it gets so bad I will occasionally pop an Ibuprofen. That helps some. My mother swore by standing under a hot shower to loosen the joints. Anyway, I will add you to my prayer list, as I hope you will add me to yours.

I've noticed that a lot of natural remedies are expensive to purchase. Have no clue why that is, but it is unfortunate for those that really could benefit from them, which isn't always those that are wealthy.

In any case you are in my prayers. I hope that the pain subsides soon. Sending healing thoughts and gentle hugs.

Sorry to hear about the level of discomfort you are experiencing. It is something I can relate to because I have a lot of over-use arthritis in my neck, knees and lower back. My REALLY active living has created a lot of injuries over the years.

My knees read so bad on the MRI's that surgery was recommended two years ago. When I re-injured my knee a few months ago I had another MRI and the deterioration is worse and on paper my physiotherapist says it would look like I should be scheduling knee surgery NOW. However, with the approach I have always taken to my joint and muscle pain I do not see surgery anytime in my future. She is rather amazed that the report does not jive with the level of strength and flexibility I have in my knees and how rapidly they healed up.

What I do to keep inflammation, pain in stiffness under control is this:

I do not eat anything from the nightshade family...potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. For people who are sensitive to it these vegetables contain solinaine (spelling?) and can cause acute inflammation. I watch the amount of sugar, caffeine, preservatives that I ingest David makes two glasses of fresh fruit and vegetable juice for me every day and that is where I add the GLH and MSM powder that I will discuss below.

I totally support your view about the benefits of glucosamine...but I make sure I use the GLH...hydrate instead of sulphate because it has smaller molecules and is more readily absorbed by the body and does not upset the digestive tract the way the sulphate version can.

I also a huge believe in combining GLH with MSM...another great supplement that has a proven track record with strengthening tissues and tendons and reducing inflammatory reactions.

If you can find any place that provides foods for horses it is the most economical way to buy the product I use. It is called Proform...and is powdered GLH with MSM, molasses and a number of other minerals and vitamins. We buy it by the pail for around sixty dollars Canadian and for the amount I take in my home-made juices it will last for 4 months. It would last even longer than that but we are also giving to our 16 year old dog who has weak hind quarters. If you cannot find it anywhere else and want to find to put that $50.00 out for it we could see if there is a way that you could pay me and I'd be happy to see if we could ship it to you.

Believe me it is such a high grade that my whole body has responded in amazing ways in the relatively short time I've been on it. My knees, neck, lower back, hands are all way more flexible and less inflamed than they have been in years. This brand is better than anything else I have used in the past.

So good luck with it and let me know if you want to pursue this idea...and I will start sending you some, love, light and energetic support when I light and candle and send it to Lakota.

My thoughts, concern and well wishes are beaming your way,...

You have my prayer. I believe in dietary treatment.
Do not eat dairy products (except yogurt)and meat(exception chicken and fish)
Menthol and Camphor are very helpful and easy found in Vicks products.

Take hot bath in Epson salt for about 20-30 minutes. They have it in Walgreens, CVS, or whatever store available close to you.

This is what I would do myself. It should help.
I would change diet for sure.
In Dr Neal Barnard book “Food for Life: How the New Four Food Groups Can Save Your Life” he says:
“Try to eat vegetarian, animal proteins have been found to trigger the joint pain associated with arthritis and other inflammatory diseases”

so sorry you are hurting but it sounds as if you are doing lots of good stuff for yourself. I will pray for you!!!

Pye you've got my prayers and thoughts, just ask and you'll get them always.

As for your health condition, maybe try vitamins A,C,E, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins. Better amounts of those could help (along with taking a good amount of all other vitamins). Be sure vitamins, multivitamins can be digested (check reviews from health sites). I mean there is no sense in buying a faulty product.

I have bad joints as well and arthritis runs in my family. I have been taking large amounts of vitamin e for easier joint movement. It does help a lot in keeping my joints from binding, but I don't know if it would help you or the pain.

If you have medicare....why not see if you can get it covered by them, if your doctor prescribes it I would think it would be covered.
