Debilitating Psoriatic Arthritis. Desperate!
My Husband has
Psoriasis Arthritis and is in debilitating pain and covered in painful, red
Psoriasis patches.
We have tried so many treatments, conventional and natural/herbal. NOTHING has helped! In fact he has only gotten worse!
His pain is in all joints. His feet and spine are the worst. Some days he can not even get out of bed. He is only 38!
He has been too:
Primary care Physician:
Thought he might have gout, put him on Allopurinol, he has severe allergic reaction resulting in tongue swelling and trouble breathing.
Dermatologist:
Gave him steroid creams for his skin, steroid mousse for his scalp and Humira for Psoriasis. He got a Fistula and had to discontinue Humira. After about a year the fistula healed.
Rheumatologist:
Put him back on Humira, he got really sick and his skin and pain became worse then ever. Now wants to put him on Remicade, but we are scared to try more of these Immunosuppressant drugs!
Foot Doctor:
X-Rayed his foot, confirmed deterioration of joints due to psoriatic arthritis. Gave him local steroid shot in foot, had no effect on pain. The doctor said he has the feet of a 60 year old man!
Integrative Doctor:
Did a zillion tests on him (cost us thousands... our life savings in fact...) which showed general inflammation factors and perhaps signs of infection (they don't know what kind, said could be viral, bacterial, parasitic or fungal)most tests were inconclusive and "more testing" was needed... testing we had no more money for. He also had low vitamin D and heavy metal poisoning.
They did an IgG Testing on reactive foods. He came back reactive to EVERYTHING accept Beef, Salmon, Zucchini, oranges-limes-lemons-mangos, nuts, wheat, rice, corn, dairy. That's right... all the things you typically stop eating to help with autoimmune or inflammation ere the ONLY things he was not reactive to!
Can you imagine zucchini being the ONLY vegetable you could eat? How is he suppose to eat healthy like this???
She also put him on a TON of supplements! (all of which she wanted to be purchased from her)

Nitric Balance - Apex $49.00

Total= $439.2
Naturpath:
She touched him with one hand then touched some vials with the other. Through this "Master Test Kit" she said he was allergic to literally EVERYTHING and had tapeworms. She did an "Allergy Reversal" and a "Hormone Reversal" and put him on Humaworm.
We later went and had his allergies tested at a real allergist and he is still allergic to the things he had been before (grass, pollen, dust mites ect) so this was completely bogus in my opinion.
Results:
He has been trying to take all the Supplements the Integrative Doctor prescribed and eating only beef, salmon, rice, zucchini with some mangos occasionally. He is STILL getting worse and increasingly depressed.
He has missed a lot of work and lots of days he can not even walk. The only thing that gives him any relief if steroid packs, but only while he is on them, plus taking them is less then ideal. I know all they do is stop his body from fighting whatever it is that is causing this.
Please help us! I am desperate!
