Question by Becca: Chronic pain and fatigue? ?
You need some history. I have battled not being healthy for over two years now. I for a long time had stomach upset that went along with this. I thought it was tied together but the stomach pain ended up being gallbladder disease. I have since had my gallbladder removed. The stomach problems resolved. However just like the surgeon told me it did not resolve the aches and pains, and the fatigue. I don’t sleep at night and have tried to flip my schedule but it never seams to stick. The pain seams more severe at night and I end up so tired I eventually crash. Luckily my kids are school age so I can see them off and then lay back down. Many people have suggested that I just stay up no matter what. I have tried that with no sucsess because when you reach my level of tiredness eventually my body just gives in and I fall asleep. Last year I actually got really sick from trying to flip my sleep pattern too. Some of my friends have suggested that my pain is due to the inconsistent sleep patterns? I have seen doctors for this and been tested for arthritis, lime disease, sleep disorders, thyroid problems and lymphoma. All test came back fine! The surgeon thought for sure I had lymphoma because of the size of my neck and lymph nodes. My problem now is that I am expecting and everyone including the docs say this is from my pregnancy. I have an issue with that because this issue was going on long before me being expecting. I am hoping someone has an idea of how to get the doc to take me seriously that this is not from pregnancy and is something else. That way I could have Blood test done on me. Maybe since I have insurance they could get me with a pain specialist. I have already seen a sleep doctor over a year ago and he said the pain was the issue. I know this was long but I felt a good description was best. I really would like this resolved before my baby makes an appearance. I know I will still be able to be mom regardless. It would just be easier if I knew what caused my pain and sleep disturbance problems? If you have any suggestions what I should do please help? Suggestions of what is going on are welcome too. The only thing I ask is to be respectful and please no rude comments!

Answer by grammy
have they checked your blood sugars? If you have a fasting blood sugar of over 125 twice you are diabetic. High sugars can cause you to feel fatigued and listless. I would be surprised if you were not already checked but pregnancy can make it worse.

hope you feel better soon.

Healing Chronic Illness: By His Spirit, Through His Resources

Most of us believe that healing miracles for the chronically ill are real, but rare. The doctrines that we have been fed, or our life’s experiences, have led us to conclude that God heals mostly through medicine-and if not through medicine, then not at all. Perhaps we had a relative who had sky-high faith for a healing miracle and yet died, or have trodden the path of faith healing, but been discouraged by ministers who admonished us to “just have more faith!” Perhaps we don’t know how much God really loves us. While our faith in miracles and His love may not be enough, thankfully, God is, and He is willing to heal more people supernaturally-in body, mind and spirit-than are being healed today. He can heal when medicine fails to provide a

Question by Empress KitiKat: I have Chronic Lyme Disease. Are there any alternative medicines that can help relieve some of the symptoms?
I was misdiagnosed multiple times because Lyme testing is so problematic. Now it’s chronic. I no longer have any type of medical insurance. Is there any type of holistic/alternative medications that can help with some of the symptoms? Primarily body aches, fatigue, headaches.

Best answer:

Answer by Rhianna
If the infection has been killed with antibiotics, the bacteria is gone. However, what sometimes happens if the disease is diagnosed late, the bacteria has time to cause tissues damage, which I suppose can cause long term problems.

But “post-Lyme disease syndrome” is tricky and there is controversy as to whether or not these are ongoing symptoms, due to a poorly treated infection or infection treated at a late stage, or there is another cause such as an autoimmune condition. So basically it may be due to a reaction of the immune system that does not switch off, even though the original bacteria causing the infection has been killed. Treatment or management really depends on the symptoms and AltMed has nothing to offer.

You need to see a Doctor who specializes in this area.

How To Manage Chronic Liver Diseases With Natural Remedies

Chronic liver disease is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States with over 25,000 deaths annually, according to federal statistics. There are an expected 4 million known cases of hepatitis C in the US, some of which present with cirrhosis or will eventually become cirrhotic. Our current ability to treat hepatitis C and eliminate the infection has been civilizing with the advent of long acting interferon’s.

Cirrhosis usually develops over a long period of time and almost always is irretrievable. The following steps will show how to handle liver cirrhosis. Liver disease is a major health issue. Cirrhosis and other liver problems are the cause of much pain in people’s lives.

Cirrhosis of the liver is a complication that can arise as a result of liver disease. Diseases that can affect the liver include hepatitis, chronic alcoholism and fatty liver disease. Obesity-related chronic liver disease, may affect as many as one in every four adults over the age of 18. It is time for another installment of Liver Disease Facts. Remember that October is Liver Disease Awareness.

Causes of Chronic liver diseases: -

•    High blood level
•    Glycogen storage space disease
•    Cystic fibrosis
•    Diabetes
•    Starvation
•    Hepatitis and additional viruses
•    Employ of sure drugs
•    Chemical contact
•    Bile duct obstacle
•    Autoimmune diseases

Natural Home Remedies for Chronic Lever Diseases: -

•    Avoid any type of alcohol. In order to help the liver reverse any damage caused by the cirrhosis, you should avoid alcohol.
•    Drink the juice of 2 oranges on an empty stomach for 5-7 days.
•    Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in nutrients. Malnutrition is often a side effect of cirrhosis, so it’s important that what you eat is as packed with vitamins and minerals as possible.
•    Stop smoking if you’re a smoker. Smoking further weakens your overall health, adding another roadblock to recovery from cirrhosis.
•    Mix one tablespoon of juice of black papaya seeds to 10 drops of lime juice. Drink 1-2 times a day for a month.
•    Avoid any raw or undercooked meat and fish. Cirrhosis makes you more susceptible to food-borne diseases and parasites, so always make sure your meat and fish are well-done.
•    Yoga can be an effective treatment for cirrhosis, and certified yoga instructors can often recommend poses that are helpful in recovering from liver damage.
•    Avoiding heavy exercise, resting after hard work and getting adequate sleep are important in the treatment of cirrhosis, as well.

Question by Angel Dumott Schunard: chronic lyme disease?
I just heard that my friend whom I haven’t seen in a few months contracted lime disease and became paralized from the waist down!!!

I have been able to find minimal information on her case on the web but not enough to tell me if her case was like most, and was cured with a few weeks of antibiotics, or weather she got chronic lyme disease. What I want to know is exactly how serious is chronic lyme disease?

Best answer:

Answer by warrenjudew
lyme disease is very serious and can stay with you for life, thought I haven’t heard of being paralyzed from it but you never know. It usually puts off flu like symptoms. You usually contact this from a deer tic that bites you.

Conquering Chronic Fatigue: Answers to America’s Most Misunderstood Epidemic

Now You Can Win Your Battle with Chronic Fatigue Possibly the most undertreated and misunderstood illness in America, the growing epidemic of chronic fatigue has more than 40 million sufferers. Written by a Christian medical doctor, Conguering Chronic Fatigue is a medical handbook that spells out the condition, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment of the four most common fatigue illnesses: chronic fatigue, hidden hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia and yeast overgrowth. Dr. Forester is quick to acknowledge that much remains to be done to conquer fatigue. However, it is equally true-and even more exciting-to realize that 80 to 90 percent of fatigue patients under Dr. Forester’s care either improved or were put in remission of their fatigue! Are you s
