Sterling, this is excellent. Thank you for posting it and for all the effort you put into everything. I'd like to know if I have your permission to post this...
Sterling, Thanks for all the info. Sounds like you would have tried tetracyline. Did you, any luck with it? VJ ... Costocondritis ... so. ... when I had ... ...
Certainly, be my guest! Main reason I posted it is that somebody else can get useful info. I have already gotten some great info off this list in the few...
Thanks, Mare. I didn't get to see any posts from after 4 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday. The move went fine. My costo flared up big time on Sunday, though I think...
No, wish I could, but with no health insurance in force can't afford to have the extensive workup done. While it sounds very simple in practice, the ...
Hi, Karen. Is your doctor suggesting performing a rhizotomy? As a court reporter, I report a lot of personal injury cases and just concluded one involving a...
Hi, Chris. I just recently started using glucosamine/chondroitin with MSM, maybe 3 weeks ago, so I think in my case it's too early to tell. I have read that...
Sterling, Reread your post. Guess you haven't tried tetracyclin... sorry for my confusion with the question I asked in my last post. Tetracylin is fairly...
Hi everyone. My name is Maya and I am 30 y/o. I am not sure if I suffer from costo but it feels like I am on the right place. Several weeks ago, after I went...
My doctor gave me a prescription of Vioxx today for the costo I've had for the past 3 months. I was reading the possible side effects on the Vioxx website and...
I have zero side effects from Vioxx. I don't think it necessarily helps my costo pain. Maybe it keeps the inflammation down, but it has never solved any...
Hi Maya, To diagnose costo, you really must see a doctor and rule out any other possible causes for this type of pain. I can tell you though that when my...
Hi Sterling, How can they monitor sed. rates for costo when many of us test with normal sed. rate. Mine was "better than the average" and yet I have costo and...
Zan, I used celebrex (rather than vioxx) for almost a year. It did have a pretty good impact for several months, but then ultimately it peaked in terms of...
Hi, Eileen. My sed rate was up (21) which shows that I have inflammation but where and from what? The tests don't tell you that. Good question and I don't...
I understand what you are saying for sure. The treatment that I wrote about is geared towards rheumatoid arthritis as was written in 1988. Here is what has...
Eileen, One thing I forgot to mention in the last post responding to your question. The main premise of the mycoplasms causing connective tissue disease is ...
Going to try the copper route first as without the proper medical supervision I think is much safer. Works slowly and the slowness is what is also desirable...
Hi, Sterling. There's a lot of interesting info on mycroplasm and mycroplasma on the fibromyalgia group I lurk on that you might be interested in reading. To...
Hey thanks for the tip on the Fibro group! I am going to definitely check that out and see what they are saying in the fibro group It seems so obvious to me...
While browsing the Fibromyalgia group in Usenet that Mare had directed me to I found a posting by one of Dr. Brown's former nurses that worked with him in the...
Hi everyone, I don't post too often but read everyday. The latest posts on the mycoplasm stuff is really interesting. Thanks so much for all of the info, it...
K, When you go for your appointment you can take along the info from either the book, or better yet contact the organization off the website themselves as they...
I had a question for everybody myself. I have gotten fair results in pain reduction, improved mobility, etc. from my chiropractor. However have to keep...
Hi K, Cannot say this enough, as it is critical to understanding the facts about costo...it is NOT chronic for the MAJORITY of those who become afflicted. It...
Hi Sterling, I had 30 acu. treatments from June to October and it helped me a great deal. I went 2x per week for about 4 months...it did not produce a cure,...
About 6 wks. ago when I was at the rhematologist and he wrote the Rx for Topamax, I was feeling so awful and was getting to the point like I did last summer...
At this point it looks like I would probably try the acupuncture route first. There are several not too far from me and none of them require advance...
Hi Sterling I did try acupuncture some years ago when I injured my back and it really helped in the initial stages when the pain was severe. I'm not sure that...
