Title: Hey gang, I'm back
Post by: hootyhu1 on February 19, 2013, 10:41:33 PM
Hey guys, wow has time gone by at lightning speed. My baby boy is now almost 10 months old and my 3 1/2 year old daughter is doing great with all of her early intervention with her autism diagnosis. I have been doing ok for no sleep in over a year, lol. Still no real dryness issues but have had flares here and there. Even though my rheumy is trying to treat me aggressively, my hands and joints still suck. So how have y'all been doing?

Also, I am wondering if filing for SSDI would be a good thing? I am a SAHM for now but honestly, I couldn't go back to work if I tried, my hands are really limiting me and I feel like I am losing fine motor skills. Any suggestions?

If the joint pain is RA, you can take hi-active dark cherry extra to help with the pain. Bosweilla will tell your immune system not to attack your RA joints. UCII will repair and reverse RA damage. When I broke my leg, the bone doctor said I needed immediate knee replacement. When he took the x-rays and released my he said I had about ten years before knee replacement. That was with one bottle of UCII.

You may be able to get SSI to take care of your autistic child.

Joe,

Is the UCII you refer to UCII Collagen?  If so, would you mind sharing what brand and mg you use?  Thank you in advance!

Life Extension is the brand. They have only one size that I know of. It was written up in their magazine.

Joe, I am assuming the joint pain is more RA related but I am not officially dx with RA. I was told that SJS can also have an arthritis component.

I still have no real dryness to complain of and I just have joint pain and fatigue.
