Sol, if you have to take ibuprofen, I suggest taking a chelated
copper tablet with each dose. This should protect your stomach
from the very damaging effects of the NSAID. It may also increase
the anti-inflammatory effects of the ibuprofen.

Subject: Re: CS>>Rheumatoid arthritis or Lupus and nightshades
Nightshades don't seem to be a bother to me. I have had a
major, whole body two days in bed flare after eating celery
though. I don't do cheddar as the yellow coloring annatto seems
to be a problem for me. Is annatto a nightshade? I know it is a
common allergen. Right now, I do eat some nightshades as they
are some of the only veg I'm not allergic to for other reasons.
I have just had bloodtests to rule out RA or Lupus, though my
online research seems to indicate that people who do not have
positive Rheumatoid factor blood tests can still have the
disease, and people who are positive for RF don't always have
it. So I likely wasted my time and had 9 x-rays for nothing. I
have some symtpoms of both, but not all. Over the past 15 or
more years I've had problems in different joints, hands,
wrists, elbows, feet, hips, now it is my knees that are the
problem. A couple of times I have barely been able to get
around, even with canes. I have been working on suspected
underlying causes for the past two + years, but have made only
minimal progress in the joint problems, GI problems are
significantly better though.
I may just have to self-treat for RA and see if I improve. This
could also be Fibromyalgia or one of the many other related
mysterious conditions. It doesn't seem to be anything
definitive enough for a "real" medical diagnosis. So it is very
frustrating. The orthopedic doc will likely push for
arthroscopy but I don't want that.
Meantime he has said no walking and maybe I could do swimming
for excercise, but I can't because of eczema. I have no doubt
whatsoever that pool chlorine and chemicals would set off the
eczema horribly, because of the drying, if nothing else.
Meantime I'm supposed to take 3 Ibuprofen 3 times a day, for
two weeks. I don't normally "do" MDs anymore, but I was hoping
for a diagnosis I could then use to self-treat. I doubt I'll
make the full two weeks of the ibuprofen trial though, doubt my
stomach will take it.
I will likely return to MSM and yucca, and homeopathic pain
relievers. If I could just get a diagnosis, I could target
everything a whole lot more effectively. There has just got to
be an underlying cause of all this whole complex of problems.
Doesn't there? The food allergies I already have complicate
every attempt to deal with things via diet though. My iodine
allergy is the worst. Without the iodine allergy there is a lot
I could do via diet. But I can't get rid of it or haven't been
able to so far (20 years).

Have you removed nightshades from your diet?
potatoes. tomatoes, eggplant, green (and other) peppers
-- add to that list paprika and cheddar cheese
See http://www.noarthritis.com/nightshades.htm
My pain disappeared and joints healed after removing
nightshades and drinking enough water
("1/2 your weight divided by 8" for the number of 8 oz glasses
to drink every day. Do half before 10 AM)
I also did a regimen of 5ppm CS --- 1/4 cup 4X/day
on an empty stomach for 1 month
