    Just from personal experience have you considered seeing a chiropractor or a nutritionist? I say this for one very good reason. I was diagnosed 21 years ago with Rheumatoid Arthritis by a pricey specialist. I was put on huge doses of prednisone ultimately since nothing alleviated the excruciating pain that had developed in all of my joints.

    Fast forward one year I ran (or I should say hobbled) into a woman I knew who was well versed in the treatment of health issues via natural means and I recall at seeing her shock at my physical deterioration. She strongly urged me to speak to someone else. I did. I was weaned off the prednisone, spent another year eating a diet without additives and with supplements to rebuild my immune system. I gave up hope sometimes but stayed the course and one day I realized, that thought very weak from 2 years from lack of normal activity, the arthritis symptoms were gone…and have stayed gone for almost 2 decades. After the fact diagnosis was that the stress from divorcing an abusive husband had put my adrenal system over the edge; if I had been treated for that from the getgo I might have not lost 2 years of my life but you can imagine, I’m sort of fond of less medicine and finding natural ways to combat the things that make us ill. Just a thought…

    Thank You Jane – I have some rotated vertebrae so they are taking their time going back into place. Hopefully I can will them back in there.

    I hope your whiplash goes away soon so you’ll be able to treat your other symptoms. Take care!

    I’m so sorry you are going through all this. While I do not have what you have I do have issues with my hormones acting a fool. Mine are all out of whack too. Sometimes it even creates this weird red/brown colors splotches all over the back on my neck. Sigh. Good luck on the hormones and I’m sure they will help out a lot! *Hugs and good vibes being sent you way!*
