  • Thank you for creating this video. I want you to know that I have had this disease since 2002. I was diagnosed with it after months of doctors visits and tests. Your video is my life! I cried while watching it, because I have been struggling with living a "normal" life for almost 10 years. To look at me, you would never know what I live with day in and day out. I can't even remember a day without pain since I was diagnosed. Thank you for sharing because I really thought I was alone.

  • @TheReefKeepers oh how horrible! I feel for you. I know what it feels like.Have you tried the tea and herbs I mentioned? I took something called Bio-Vegetarian by Priority One. You can ge it online. And I also took Dr. Andrew Weils's anti-imflammatory pills I got from whole Foods. It made a huge difference.

  • I've been taking Advil for joint & muscle pain and it seems to help a bit. I was also told by a naturopath to take MSM which is a natural pain reliever, devil's claw and a high potency EPA fish oil. I haven't tried these yet, but am willing to try anything. I actually tried the home-made ginger tea for 1 day but I will start drinking that. How long did your virus last? Are you completely healed? I notice some days the rash seems to be getting less and some days it flares up a lot. Thanks.

  • @magazinefm I drank the ginger drink 2-3x per day. I actually started to look forward to it. It was spicy, hot, and lemony sweet. Drink it faithfully. It really helped to bring my inflammation down. Mine began 2 years ago around Memorial day. By October I was totally back to normal and never had any problem since then. At the time I felt I was never going to be normal again. But now I am even healthier than I was before. I take good care of myself.

  • @magazinefm and one more thing....as much as I love carbs even healthy ones like oatmeal and whole grains, I found that eating more protein made me feel better. Whenever I ate anything sugary, I flared up. So instead of cereal for breakfast or bagels for example I would eat eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, etc.

  • I just saw your video and I am experiencing similar symptoms. Mine started with a non-itchy rash on my arms and legs, and then sudden joint pain and swelling. Everyday it would be a different joint, fingers, knees and ankles. I noticed this back in Nov 2010. Dec I went to a hospital that deals in rheumatology. They tested me for parvovirus but to this day I still don't have the results after numerous calls. I was prescribed Naproxyn which help but I don't want to take them for long.

  • @magazinefm I know what you are going through ! I went to a naturopathic doctor here in Philadelphia since no MD's could help.She told me that Advil was the least toxic. I got through the day taking 4/3-4x per day. I tapered it off when the anti-viral herbs began to work. I took Dr. Weil's anti -imflammatory sold at health food stores and whole foods, a product called Bio Vegetarian by Priority One (sold online), drank lots of the home-made ginger-lemon tea. It all worked well.
