I use the olive oil that says something along the lines of light taste. I detest the evoo taste in mayo. I never have a problem with my mayo setting up well, as long as I don't try to use cold eggs, or rush the process and mix too fast. If I use cold eggs, it just doesn't work the same.

Normally, yes. But if your infections are caused by interstitial cystitis(IC), vitamin C (especially in high doses) tends to really irritate the bladder, making it more susceptible to infection. I am speaking from experience, and repeating what my urologist told me. When I cut out my vitamin...

Thanks autumnprairie, I haven't ever tried massage. After having disastrous results with physical therapy and chiropractic treatment, I have been pretty reluctant to try any more manipulation. I will look for that on youtube. As for the kind of pain, it really varies. It ranges from...

MTN- the problems you had sure sound familiar :/ BB- I will have to check out cheeseslave's website, I didn't realize that. Ok, I will try gluten free. It can't hurt. Thanks a lot, all!

BB- Don't feel dumb, I didn't give all the information. I do appreciate your insight, and it seems from some of your posts that we have had some similar issues. So do you mean that gluten should be avoided by people with arthritis in general? Sorry to be asking so many questions, I haven't...

I will let you know, glad to help!

BB- I forgot to add, I don't even have to take the blood pressure test to know I would fail it. I get dizzy when I stand up, even from a sitting position. My blood pressure has dropped so suddenly at some times, I would nearly pass out. I don't know how much of that is from the medication I...

Thanks, all! MTN, that sounds like an intriguing diy, making a pepper rub...I will have to look into that. AnnaRaven, I think I have dried catnip(bought it as a hair treatment a while back) I will try that. BB- Well, I do have arthritis, of some sort. Because of my ANA test result (1:320)...

I found more information about the blood pressure test, it basically tests for a normal blood pressure when laying down, and then a drop when you stand. Not sure about the two minutes after. I found this site: http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/adrenal_insufficiency.htm Is this one you are...

What about blood pressure results indicate the condition? I have tried avoiding carbs, not really gluten, but processed carbs. I felt more energetic, and my weight and water retention dropped; but no change in the amount of pain. Thanks.

Thanks for replying, BB. :) I have read many of your posts.. I had thought maybe I had adrenal insufficiency. I read a link you had provided one time, but my pupils react appropriately to the flashlight in a dark room test. From what I had read, that was a pretty good way to tell if...

Thanks for all the great info, everyone! How is catnip used as an antispasmodic? Is it in a tea that you use it, or?? How about the valerian and skullcap? How are they used, and where would you find the skullcap? Any certain form of those that is best? How about for fibromyalgia type pain...

Hello, I am trying to find alternatives to prescription pain meds. I am looking for something that would help for pretty severe pain and inflammation in muscles, joints, and ligaments. Not interested in anything illegal, or alcoholic. Thank you.

I have been kind of looking around to find a curriculum to start formal schooling with our nearly 4 year old. I was wanting one that is thorough, and all we would need, and cheap. I found one that I think is really great. It seems rather old fashioned, which is very appealing to me. Some of...

The lotion sounds really great. That might be just the thing for my heels and feet! I will have to try it, and I have the basic ingredients already. This may sound like a silly question, but this looked like the right thread to ask it. :) I had bought some beeswax pellets, and they have...
