Arthritis Improvements, anyone else?

by Looking4Hcg, Jun 12, 2007 12:00AM
This is only my 5th day on the HCG injections, but the swelling has gone down dramatically in my knees, feet and elbows. They still hurt but not near as bad. Dr Simeon wrote about temporary improvements to Arthritis while on HCG.(The kind of Arthritis I have is Rheumatoid).  I haven't done anything else different other than this diet and the HCG shots, so it must be connected. Has anyone else experienced improvements to their Arthritis?
  
My feet haven't looked normal in over a year (they are almost normal looking now), and the swelling in my knees is down so far I can actually sit down without pain from bending my knees. Getting up is soooo much easier too.
    
I also am down another 1.75 lbs today. HURRAY!!!!  Gained 1/2 lb during the first 2 'loading days'. Next day I lost 1.25 and now another 1.75.  Wow.  I'm loving this! Losing weight wildly and getting health improvements too. I started at 182.75, gained the 1/2 lb during loading, then lost 3 for a net of 2.5 lbs down.

According to Dr Simeon's document, Arthritis problems return after you're off HCG but not as bad.  I'll take it - improvements while on means I can exercise more, a feel good for a while!!!!!!!

Since you go to Transformations, did you consider doing the Pycnogenol that they offer? I looked on their website and have heard from my friend that take it that it's wonderful! It is supposed to help with your joints, skin, and also weight loss. Go to the store part of the website and look it up. I think I saw some testimonials on there too.

Hope that helps!

No, I didn't.  I was leary of taking anything other than HCG while on the diet. It surprised me that Transformations was trying to sell all these other products TO BE TAKEN WHILE ON THE DIET, when Dr Simeon said to take nothing during the diet. Guess I tuned out after the first couple of sales pitches.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll take a look at it.
