Default Unknown Illness trouble - 07-03-08, 12:02 AM

Can anyone here help me with my current problem?

Basically for the past month I have been seriously ill


1. The white part of my right eye has turned red

2. I have developed swellings in the following parts of my body

- Right right knee cap
- my right and left wrist

3. Recently I have started to devellop pain on both by ankle joints.


I have been going to the doctors, and they have given me some pills and eye drops.

I went to the hospital for an x ray and blood test a while ago, and the results showed the following;

1. There was nothing wrong with my bones at all

2. I have a blood infection/ something is causing the blood in my body not to flow properly.


I am still mobile but very slow. The doctor said I have a kinda mild arthritis.

I have been booked in to see an Rhematologist in a few weeks.


Doe anyone have any idea what it is I have, or any kind of alternative remedies?

Hi i am sorry to read about your illness. If you do think that you have arthritis and haven't already looked at your diet you could look into researching the type of foods that may not help someone with this condition.
The Arthritis Diet: Foods to Avoid

I suffer from foot pain from time to time and when the pain hits me i have found it effective to use ice and sometimes hot rub on the affected area. I also can take pain killers and may use a support bandage until things are better. I think a sports injury may have caused some of my problems.

Some people use aromatherapy oil for joint pain. You could either massage the oil onto the affected area or put some drops into your bath. Rosemary and Ginger are good for joint pain.

My friend suffered from similar symtoms and she was eventually diagnosed with Lupus which is an auto-immune disease. The doc can do a blood test to see if you have this

yeah that's what i was thinking...lupus. my best friend has it. it takes awhile to diagnoise because there are so many symptoms that affect different parts of your body which make them seem unrelated when they are.

tell your doctor you want to be tested for lupus. my friend also has a rheumatologist that she sees regularly.

are you tired a lot? any unexplainable rashes or patches? there are different types of lupus. my friend has the worst kind which affects the organs.

i wish you the best with your health.

Judge - sorry to bear about that mate, stay strong in mind in that try not to let it get you down and depressed. Just read up on it and it sounds quite rare.


Their knives and their guns could not hold me, their drinks and their drugs could not control me, their education could not school me, their religion could not fool me, their women could never tempt me
their politicians could never rent me, but the babylon daughter still got my pikney!

I have bought some of this stuff before for my aunt to help with her joint pain.
Maybe it might worth a shot for anyone else going through the same thing.
Joint Ease All Natural Massage Oil 100ml on eBay, also, Massage Oils Creams, Massage, Health Beauty (end time 26-Mar-08 16:21:38 GMT)

Sorry about the diagnosis but i am also glad that you know what was causing the problem now.
