Asking for Mother, Female, 58 years old, Lahore
Hello. My mother is diabetic and rheumatoid arthritis patient.(no med. is giving her relief from pain) I want to import vitamins and supplements from germany for her.. kindly tell me which ingredients should be must have? And which precursor can replace glucosamine from meds ? Or is it ok to take glucosamine as well?
You need to understand until her rhematoid arthritis treatment is properly taken she will not get relief , the other supplements are only fancy to control pain or wear and tear no matter you import from anywhere , you need to see a rheumatologist for that , you can visit me if in karachi
Dear
I am sorry to know about your mothers problem. What I understand is that she has 2 problems;
Diabetes
Rheumatoid arthritis
The pain in her body that you are talking about can be due to bothand there are numerous causes of pain because of diabetes as well as rheumatoid arthritis
In order to manage the pain first of all you need to understand that what is causing the pain
In diabetes the pain is usually due to weakening of the nerves suppling the skin as well as muscles of our body and in rheumatoid arthritis it is mainly because of inflammation (sozish) that is continuously causing wear and tear of most of the joints of body
I do appreciate that vitamins are an important dietary constituents for our body and thy help in many ways but believe me that the most helpful step in relieving your mother of pain would be an appropriate control of both the conditions and we take it one by one
Pain related to diabetes will settle once sugar control is achieved by diet, exercise and sugar treatment either tablets or insulin (what she is on?)
We can give some medicine to relieve her of pain because of diabetes and it is
Capsule Dulan 60 mg before going to bed
One of the multivitamins/supplements that can help relive her pain would be
Tablet Mecobalamin once a day
Regarding rheumatoid arthritis it is very important to k ow the current status of the disease and control it as soon as possible because long standing RA can lead to even damage to the joints and permanent disability unfortunately
Please get her
HbA1c
ESR
CRP and X rays of the most painful joints and share with me
You can contact me anytime at zero three three three five five eight two eight nine two (watsapp), we will take it further from there and manage her
Wish her health
Regards
