Just found out my GF might have Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or Lupus...Prayer request!

There is no such thing as lupus. It's a allergy to white sugar and wheat and/or dairy AND/OR synthetic vitamin A in multivitamins and soy milk - also labled as "palmitate. Any skin product with "retinol" can also cause it.

AMA doctors are bullshitting idiots.

Sounds like it could be lyme disease. Most arthritic inflammatory diseases, and lupus, are actually lyme disease.

tell her to eat alkaline raw food diet in addition to no wheat, no dairy, no sugar

drink fresh water

do yoga

meditate

peace

How old is she

Paleo diet OP

I will pray for her. A person does not need to be a Christian for prayer to work, and prayer can be very powerful.

A lot of people, especially women are coming down with these conditions. I don't think there are any cures for these conditions at this time, but there soon will be as medical technology is advancing so quickly.

In the meantime all anyone with these symptoms can do is eat right and take regular walks if possible and try not to get stressed (easy to say right).

I have my own theories about these illnesses, and I believe regular sunshine can be of great help. Of course we are told the sun is bad for us, but I believe that just like other living things, we wither away from lack of sunlight and it can help many illnesses.

I will say a prayer, and ask God to fill her with his perfect light and chase away the chaotic energies in her body.

God bless you too for being such a good and caring boyfriend.

Thanks for the thoughts and tips, guys.

And I agree I have been pleading with her to go Paleo but she insists on maintaining a dairy full diet. Even the seminar she signed up for is full of modern docs pushing the paleo diet as a solution.

You should dump her

My gf has been suffering with ra for the last 3 years or so . She is 34. The first year was rough but the medication is working to a large degree. She is amazing.

Get her on prednistarone tablets 2.5 mill in morning and 2.5 mill at 1 pm

Adjust accordingly , it will solve her completely

Sorry to hear.
She needs to start taking Lugol's iodine drops ASAP.

Iodine deficiency leads to 100s of problems.

What are you talking about ? It just covers the symptoms and never helps the underlying issue. It's a corticosteroid.

Prednisolone is a man-made form of a natural substance (corticosteroid hormone) made by the adrenal gland. It is used to treat conditions such as arthritis, blood problems, immune system disorders, skin and eye conditions, breathing problems, cancer, and severe allergies. It decreases your immune system's response to various diseases to reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling and allergic-type reactions.

OP could I get your girlfriends first name. I will keep her in my prayers every night.

I knew someone who got joint pain whenever they had artificial sweeteners. So its best to rule that out too

Um..."might"? Better figure that shit out for real before half-ass asking for bullshit prayers and whatnot.

I would also co-sign this suggestion as Lyme Disease
can be treated with a normal regime of antibiotics.
You need to find a physician who handles LYME specifically,
however, because many docs think that Lyme disease doesn't
exist. It certainly does, exist, by the way and I have
it on experience that this tick-bite triggered illness
can mimic arthritis.

I was lucky because I was treating a severe toothache
over several months and used antibiotics which knocked
out the Lyme. If you GF has ever had an insect bite which
she can remember leaving a "bullseye" pattern (ususually
on the lower leg/calf area, but can be on the arms as
well)--that is a big red flag for a tick bite. Most ticks
in the Eastern U.S. and the northern areas of Northwestern
U.S. have Lyme disease infected ticks. Here is a link that
shows the bullseye pattern from a Lyme-disease infected
tick bite:

Hope you can figure it out and that it IS Lyme rather
than arthritis since Lyme is easily treatable.

Best wishes, OP.

Hope you figure this out, OP!

Have your girlfriend get a perscription for LDN low dose naltrexone. Many doctors do not know about it and many refuse to perscribe it. If she is a faceb**k person, have her join the LDN Research Trust page. There are info packets there to take to doctors. There are almost no side effects, it can be taken forever, is inexpensive and effective. She wants to start at about .5 mg and slowly work up to 4.5 mg. It is a lifechanging medication and could literally save her life and preserve function.

I have been taking it since Dec 17 and it has given me my life back. A little rough to start with (vivid dreams, some insomnia) but other than that, it's a miracle.
