Over the past 4-5 years my beautiful Mom has been sick. this just kills me!!! This woman not only grew me in her belly, but she has raised me to be the person I am today, she is my best friend. today at the doctors we found out the awful news that this giant cell arthritis is back and really pissed off. It has already blocked the arteries in her right ear (just at the top) and it is basically going to dry up and fall off.... this doctor put her back up to 60mg of prednisone, an amazing/awful steroid that will help clear her arteries, but ultimately take away almost all of her muscle mass. I know for a fact that she will not get off this drug, but if anyone knows some kind of amazing natural foods that can help her out that would be amazing!!! I would really appreciate all the help I could get!!! Like I said... Its my Mommy... Thank you so much for reading this and hopefully you could help, Im not necessarily looking for medical stuff but maybe just like a happy smoothy to boost her immune system, or and awesome soup... Thanks again!! :)
