I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and wanna no if the are any foundations

Seriously…

30+ years of having it being OVER THE COUNTER in most countries…

80 MILLION prescriptions in the United States…

NOT A SINGLE DEATH from the use of Emergency Contraception…

It DOES NOT inhibit implantation of a fertilized ovum… So it DOES NOT cause an "Abortion".

Aleve and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for the reduction of intense pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual cramps, tendinitis, bursitis, and the treatment of primary dysmenorrhe actually have a greater risk of inhibiting the implantation of a fertilized egg than The Morning After Pill and yet no one is protesting out front of the Safeway/Dominick’s when a chick buys the over the counter pain reliever… Right?

Emergency Contraception can PREVENT A MAJORITY OF ABORTIONS… You can INSTANTLY cut down the numbers of abortions being performed by 75% simply by allowing this "Strange, Dangerous, and NEW" concept that has been around in the rest of the world for 40+ years and yet is still being called "The Abortion Pill" by the Anti-Choice organizations that are shooting at abortion doctors and protesting sex education in schools…

I don’t get it…

Seriously… I want to know the illogical reasoning, based on OBVIOUSLY nonsense propaganda, why people are STILL fighting the distribution of Emergency Contraception…

NATURE causes 1/3 of ALL pregnancies to be NATURALLY terminated… A process called "Spontaneous Abortion" and "Miscarriage"… So you can’t argue that "God" wants all pregnancies to go to term because "God" should have built the "Ovens" a little better so that more babies are actually carried to term…

Come on…

NOT using "Emotional" arguments with no basis in science…
NOT using "Propaganda" and misinformation about how "Dangerous" it is…

PLEASE, explain to me why the #1 way of preventing abortions is "Evil".

Okay – so.. typically when I ride it’s during a lesson, show, or clinic and I’m in the saddle for an hour at the very least. Lupus runs in my family and I’ve already got symptoms of it + rheumatoid arthritis. After riding for an extended period of time, I start to have knee pain – mostly in my right knee. I’ve tried jointed stirrups and ironically they caused MORE pain than they relieved. I’ve thought about trying the Bow Balance stirrups but I’m afraid it’ll be the same thing. I have "conformational issues," as my trainer likes to put it, because I’ve got a 33" inseam but I’m only 5’4". This makes it hard for me to fit really nicely in a saddle without my leg looking too long (even if my stirrups are at the right level).
I know I have a problem of turning my toes out when I jump, so could this be part of the reason for my knee pain? Could it be the fact that my legs are so long? Does anyone else have this same problem and if so – what have you done that has actually worked?
I’ve had blood tests done every year for the Lupus. With the test – they’re looking for I think three specific things.. if you only have two out of the three, they still name your results as "negative." My Dr. has said, "It’s just a matter of time before the test comes back positive" – I don’t really know how to interpret that.. I’m assuming that one of the things they look for is possibly age related. Who knows.. and Yes, I’ve tried ace bandages, I’ve tried a knee brace – it doesn’t help. Ibuprofin sometimes works but I’m not a huge fan over taking stuff. My massage therapist has recommend Arnica – which I’ve yet to find – but otherwise I’m not on any medications other than the occasional Flexiril after a horseshow (which is when it’s the worst).

I have rheumatoid arthritis, am 26 years old and since moving to Denver have NEVER had so much pain with it! Sure there have been times my whole body would flare up and it wouldn’t be pleasant – but I am noticing more localized pain – specifically the BACK of my knees, my hips, and my shoulders – as well of course as toes and fingers. Why would it be so localized like this and what can I do?

Yes, I am overweight, but have been working on it! This month lost 16 lbs! YAY ME! I also sit long hours for work… but no more than I was before I moved here and am still doing my yoga, belly dancing and walking.

I DONT HAVE CANCER, I TAKE KIMO CUZ IT HELPS ARTHRITIS. && THE OTHERS

will gym workouts it cause more damage to the joints?
Im 23 years old and suffer from joint pains especially on my knees.
im suspected of having rheumatoid arthritis.

I’m 16 years old,Female.

On the day May 30, 2009 I had extreme pain in my left shoulder. I did nothing physical that day.
It was just all of a sudden. That night, any small movement i would make with my shoulder would
hurt so bad, I would scream. My shoulder was not red but it was a bit swollen. The next day the pain
wasn’t as excruciating as the night before. The pain in my shoulder lasted 3 days, it gradually went
away.

A week or so after that I woke up with stiff a very stiff body, I was stiff until an hour or two.
My hands were in pain, my knuckles were swollen,red, and tender to the touch.
Weeks after that, my feet were in pain, particularly in my heel and the knuckles of my toes.
( the pain in my heels ever since that day has never stopped hurting. In fact, its been harder to
take walks. I can no longer jump. If i try to walk in a straight line I don’t have any balance.)

All of these pains slowly are taking over me. Its difficult to do my daily activities.
Like walking,tying my hair,getting up, etc. Just your day-to-day doings.

that’s the Just of it.

Oh and this issue has been going on for 7 to 8 months now.
And when i went to the ER the doctor diagnosed me as arthritis but she said shes not too sure.
she came to that conclusion due to something in my blood (i dint know the details)

Now, I’ve researched for quite some time now and I’ve come to the conclusion that
I have Poly-articular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Though rheumatoid arthritis seems incredibly similar to lupus…

Is it lupus or arthritis?…
Or what do you think I have?…

P.S. My face gets rashes,irritated,dry patches but as soon as I cleanse my face, it goes back
to normal.

My daughter has been complaining that her knees hurt for the past week. She fell and had a pretty bad scratch on her knee. This was about 3 weeks ago and it is completely healed but I thought when she said "knee hurt", it may have been past tense and a recollection upon seeing the scar.

I am thoroughly convinced now that her knees are really hurting. I will kiss the scarred knee and she’ll say other knee hurt. She’s complaining constantly, but it’s not the type of pain that requires going to an emergency room. We have an appointment to see her doctor on Tuesday.

This is my REAL fear. I have chosen NOT to vaccinate my daughter. On July 8th she scratched her cornea and we ended up in an emergency room. I was convinced she needed a tetanus vaccine by both the er doctors and her doctor. She had no immediate reaction to the vaccine. But when I Googled "Toddler complains of knee pain" one of the links connected the Tetanus vaccine to Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am freaking out. I have also read the Web MD page explaining how to differentiate between JRA and growing pains.. and have ruled out growing pains.

WTF? Any ideas?

I will be 18 on the 22nd of this month and I have been experiencing joint pain in my hands and wrist. I don’t get it all the time but it comes every few weeks/months. Many have said its because I’m still growning but I’m not sure I believe that. I don’t play any sports so it couldn’t be because if that. Do I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? I am very fit (5’4, 105lbs) and work out every day. So could it still be growing pains?

I got into a bicycle accident yesterday. Landed on my chin. I got 7 stitches to close my chin up, and I have a small jaw fracture. I saw the dentist today, who referred me to an oral surgeon. I didn’t lose any teeth in the accident, however, 2 of them were cracked, and there are horizontal fractures on both. The dentist thinks she’ll have to pull them both. I’m 23, so there’s no way I’m ready to go through life missing teeth, so implants are an option. How safe are they? Infection wise? Does anybody have tooth implants? Or do any dental professionals know any research on it? My mom thinks my history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis could cause a relapse with something foreign in my body.
