Gauguin, thanks for post, you hit on something I have been coming towards. I need to spend more time thinking about my health, why it is that I have become the way I am, what I can do to stop it, or minimize it. Yesterday was a good day, today is a crappy day, and I don't know anything different except that I stayed off the Internet for a few days, and yesterday I surfed for several hours. I was thinking that it would be ok if I just moused around, and didn't post, but I can't do it. See? But maybe I am just tired, a lot of Christmas shopping, celebrating,and stuff.
The autoimmune thing really puzzles me. Why do our own bodies attack us? There has to be a way to turn it off naturally. I used to have really bad hay fever, and I got over it, and don't have it anymore. I went on a macrobiotic diet and used herbs, maybe that isn't what did it, but it was sure coincident in time. Maybe I will find the answer on the net, maybe I will find the answer in some alternative medicine text, I don't know, but I intend to find the answer somehow.
I am going to try acupuncture, I found a website,
aaom.org
and I am going to try yoga, too. I am also taking antibiotics in the hope that what I have is a mycoplasm infection.
One thing, does prednisone make you depressed? I have been feeling a little depressed lately, I know that rheumatoid in general makes one depressed, but what really bothered me was that until now the thing I loved the most was swimming in the ocean, and I was trying to cheer myself up by visualizing swimming in the ocean, and I just didn't care. I don't want to take antidepressants, I am taking too many pills as it is. |
