- Many of you know from my posts I have been and continue in remission. With that, I still have unbearable scalp problems - thin hair, almost a scaling of my scalp. The worst is the itching. (Like a tight band around my head full of poison...
- Twenty five years ago I had silicone breast implants. Oct 17,2015 I discovered a limp in breast - perfectly round - a bit like a drop of water the size of a quarter. The next day after a doctor exam and a sonogram at the radiologist it was...
- Although my DM continues in remission I struggle with extremely dry scalp and continuous scalp itching - so bad it has been disrupting sleep. After doing some research I read about cytokines - little messengers in your body that tell it to inflame....
- Has anyone used cayenne pepper for inflammation? I have been doing a little reading about its possibilities. DM causes such inflammation for me and so I thought I might try it. Ideas?
- I am 62 and my doctor recommended the shingles vaccination. After much hassle with my insurance I received it yesterday. I did not know it was a "live virus" until they were ready to administer it. Has anyone had experience with this. I don't...
- Hi I believe I have Jaccouds Arthorpthy as a side to my DM. Doctor's confirmation is pending. Does anyone have this along with our other issues? Thanks, Luckybabe
- I know some of you have frequent, horrible headaches. I am one of the sufferers and have been trying over the counter meds, herbs, and deep breathing (to get more oxygen to the brain.) Does anyone have any advice from their doc on this. My rhumy...
- Has anyone been treated for inflammation and pain using Mobic and not had to use the steroid treatment? If so what were the results? I know the steroids bring the CK tests to normal. If this has been a previous discussion I apologize for a...
- Many of us have a problem (in addition to all the others) of thinning hair.Mine has become baby fine and very thin and brittle. I take Bioten each day which is supposed to help. While watching Dr Oz, yesterday, he recommended Black Current Oil. I...
- When L first joined this site there was a wonderful person who helped me with the name LuckyBee. She had obviously done a lot of research and gave good solid information on many topics. Has anyone heard from her, is she in remission and no longer...
- I have been having these terrible headaches - much like the kind from an extra glass of wine too many :). I did some research and found that DM dehydrates the body much like a hangover. Anyone else have this experience or issue? Maybe I should...
- I read an article that some doctors believe that antibiotics can treat autoimmune diseases and advocate this over steriods. the belief is thatthe DM is caused by a virus such as Lyme tick disease. Not looking forward to steroids so I tought some...
- Does anyone get headaches - I am in remission and currently not on meds but I get this scalp itch and a headache that feels like a tight band around the back of my head. It seems we all get weird stuff from DM but I don't know if the headache part...
- Do you have any ideas you have come up with to cope with the physical limitations we have. I do my own housework so I use extenders a lot now so I can clean the tub and shower (can't bend down well). I try to do a little each day to keep active -...
- Each day I wake up and along with the DM somedays I have different maladies. I am getting a little paranoid since this condition affects everyone differently. Yesterday I had digestive issues - was it the DM or not? Today I have a headache - is...
