Re: what to do for overworked swollen/painful joints?!! please help
SO SORRY you had to go through shingles as well molly... and glad that you are better...
thank you for sending the info for mom! i'm making notes... we've been getting a bunch of essential oils (got SHINGLES NO MORE from FORCES OF NATURE etc... and jojoba oil really helped her with the itchies... she had unbearable pain at the outset, but that seems to have calmed down quite a lot with all the natural treatments we have been doing... pain isn't totally gone but it's more bearable now, and finally she can sleep at night... however the problem is far from over...
the big problem right now is that mom has shingles of the face and half the face is paralysed :-( and half her tongue is all weirded out and she can't taste food properly -- some foods are intolerable to her in fact....i think it all has to do with the nerves being all out of wack and damaged...
i don't know if there's any essential oil or anything like that out there for paralysis.... i ordered "power point" because i read of someone who had success with electronic stimulation to help regenerate the nerves... we've been going for acupuncture but so far it doesn't seem to help too much... warm charcoal/flaxseed poultice seems to make her feel better so we've been doing a lot of those... every twitch she manages on the left side of her face gives us hope but we still have a long way to go..... she still can't manage to do OP... :-(
anyway thank you for your support!!
