• psoriatic arthritis at 27 years old.
  

  this is all really good advise, thank you all very much. my neighbor raises honey bees, i think i will try that. i have been stung by swarms of bees before, and they don’t really bother me that much compared to misquito bites. hopefully i shouldnt need an epi pen, but it’s still a good idea to have one. when i first went to the hospital, they started the treatment for lymes immediately before i even got my blood drawn. i stayed on doxycycline for like a month and a few days, long enough for sure to kill off my normal flora (had a hard time with certain foods for a while). the glucosamine seems like it makes it much easier to move in the morning when i go to grind my joints out for the day. i had some naproxin but i ran out, it worked pretty good. i thought aleve was basically the same chemical as naproxin, but im not sure how long it is safe to take a high dose of it. again, thanx for all the help, i really appreciate it.

  it could be many different things, hormones, lack of affection or sensual contact, feeling like everyone is emotionally unavailable to you, it could be due to medication, etc. exactly what problems is this posing for you right now? it’s perfectly okay to want sexual contact, and it’s natural to want it a lot… people go through different phases. you’ll wish you felt this way when you get older. it could be something like your satisfied with everyrthing else in your life, and somewhere in your psyche, you feel stable enough to take on more, like a family and such, or it could just be something hard-wired into you, instinctual. sorry i can’t be of more help, i’m no pro at this, but i hope i maybe helped find you more questions to ask that will bring you closer learning what you need to. good luck.

  thank you mas1s that sounds great! sure you can make me a friend, that is fine.
  elyak, sorry to hear that you have had to deal with this for so long, i know it hurts. it seems like it started in my lower spine and moved into my hips and knees the worst. i can feel it in almost every joint in my body a little, but worst in my knees, back, and shoulders. it’s hard to get out of bed in the mourning cause i feel really stiff and stoved up. i take motrin and aleve when it swells up really bad. thank you for your advise.

• help wanted: Heroes wanted… the world has grown
  

  this is all really great stuff, i love how much thought is being put into this. how is a hero defined? maybe they never are. please continue to shed light on this, and give these different perspectives… there needs to be a media outlet that focuses on the good humankind does, instead of this 90% tragedy the news gives us. we have to take the good with the bad in balance. we all need to pay it foreward, and inspire the best in others to come out. imagine a world where people strive to help one another when they have more then they need for themselves… where power isn’t only used to control and manipulate, but to liberate, and to give back to the people. we are taxed several times over on each dollar we earn, and what percentage of that tax is going to ensure that even the lower-class can at least survive? we have heard about ethylene gas for years now, but can i go pump it today if i want? where is it? what about people who can’t afford to live close to town, but have to go there to buy food, yet can’t afford the gas money to go there? who is ensureing something is being done about it? why havent they stepped forward to tell us we don’t have to suffer for much longer? why can we mobilize troops in a few days to go to war, but it takes us weeks to give relief to hurricane victems on our own soil? the news makes me and so many others i know feel hopeless, my best friend is in iraq as a marine, and she says she’s not even sure what they’re doing there anymore, that they only want us to leave. as far as small heroics go, does not every little bit count? if we could overwhelm the bad things with good things, wouldn’t that be a nice change? how often has the world in it’s history known eras of peace and prosperity, where the focus could be on saving us as a species instead of developing new ways to kill each other? there are so many questions, i’m just fueling the fire because all your thoughts are welcomed. let’s hear as many as we can, and maybe, just maybe we can make sense out of this… someone, some group of good minded people need to discuss this, as it seems this rarely is. maybe we can stumble upon a way, an idea, a notion that needs to be heard by more, to give a voice of hope to the world, something we can all use to counterbalance the evils of the world.
