Hi Lola,
How very kind of you to take time to offer these helpful suggestions!
Thank you!
I love Swansons' and as a Lymie, am a frequent customer. =( I'll
definitely track down shark-cartilage! That should be helpful for the
many areas Lyme likes to hide: collagen, the tendons, and joint
cartilage.
As we'll be on RVing on the road very soon for perhaps 6 months, I'm
acquiring things not easily found in the corner big-box drug stores,
so I'll be ready for that whatever hits me, whenever, wherever.
I've always had castor oil and flannel on hand but have been loathe to
use it because of the mess. The ACV and Kosher salt sounds a bit
easier, (and i'd enjoy smelling like a pickle!=)
Lyme offers so many different issues to address, that I tend to try to
improvise and/or tough things out, because Lyme's like New England
weather: subject to change at a moment's notice. This tendonitis is
sporadic like many Lyme-affected sites are: prone to herxing after
enough pathogens have been killed. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the
symptoms are signs of infection or merely die-off toxins which must be
escorted out. With Lyme, life is always a balancing act between
hypochondriasis and denial.
Often, nasty symtoms will arise and then trail off harmlessly after a
while, and especially after several years of reducing the pathogen
load, I tend to get a bit blasé about them unless they seriously slow
me down. I had one summer of plantar fasciitis which went away, but I
always carry some arch bands, just in case.
When you had tendonitis, was descending stairs the biggest source of
pain? Just curious. Mine almost cleared up when we were travelling a
couple weeks ago and then, coming home brought it back, and I noticed
I was most lame going down stairs.
I'll be interested to see if HA is helpful. I'm already taking over
100+ caps, supps, etc per day, but if something works, I'll work it in.
Thanks again for all your info. I hope you never have tendonitis again.
Be well,
Léna

Hi, Lena.. Dr. Wm. Douglas is pretty reputable. I get his health
newsletter but it seems almost all of these alternative doctors sell a
line of products nowadays. I had achilles tendonitis years ago for
over two years (it is miserably painful) and cured it with the Lane
Labs Benefin brand of shark cartilage. The FDA has since shut down
their Benefin brand. They still make a shark cartilage product but is
is pricier than the Benefin was. My family doctor was astonished at
my cure as was I..lol.. it was terrific. And it has never returned.
I might suggest you try something a little less pricey and.. if it
works, you will be ahead of the game and.. it sure can't hurt you. I
started taking Hyaluronic Acid and wow... it is terrific stuff. I
broke my back in an auto accident years ago and have searched for
years for something to give me pain relief. The shark cartilage
helped a lot but nothing ever got rid of the pain entirely.
I started off with two HA caps per day. It helped some .. then I went
to 2 HA caps in the am and 2 in the pm. What a difference. It not
only helped my back, it also helped my neck & shoulder, my hip.. on &
on. Go to Vitacost and read the reviews. Also the Swansons brand.
HA is a little pricey but it is a natural substance that your body
normally makes (less as we grow older). You might need to take some
ibuprophen to help with the inflammation temporarily.
Here are the two brands I am familiar with (read the customer reviews).

Two old-fashioned remedies I have used for various
joint/swelling/sprain/pain issues over the years are 1) castor oil
packs (available from Baar.com) and 2) organic apple cider vinegar
and Kosher salt (or any coarse salt w/o additives) compresses. Make a
thick paste of the salt & cider.. soak a gauze pad with cider.. add
the paste and place on the injury for 1 - 2 hrs once/twice per day.
Hope this is helpful. If I can be of help in any way, just give me a
holler. Lola

Hi Friends in these Groups,
I've been wrestling with achilles' tendonitis, and my helpful hubby
found
this.

When things have a large price, and I have to scroll on and on,
looking for
info and/or ingredients without really finding anything but more
spiel, I
generally dismiss them, but this came to him through a fairly
reputable
source, so I'm wondering if anyone here has used this? And if so, to
what
effect?
thanks for any info.
Be well,
Léna
