Still at it

For years I would self-medicate by injecting my own blood into a muscle. The idea is the injected blood causes elevation of the white blood cells for a week. I'm hoping it keeps alpha-synuc under control.

I thought I was done when I could no longer raise a vein in my arms. Blame it on cold weather. But just to see, I tried inserting a butterfly in my barely-visible hand vein. It filled a 12cc syringe easily. I posted a You-tube video of Dr Maori who did this into his 90's.

Interesting. Injection of platelet enriched plasma into arthritic joints is a therapeutic modality.

In my veterinary practice I did injections of platelet enriched plasma as well. It was an excellent treatment for arthritis in dogs, cats, etc.

When were you diagnosed and you must feel it has been working, otherwise you wouldn't have been doing it for years.

I developed a blood clot in my arm; Deep vein thrombosis. The pain was serious. I'd been studying PRP: Platelet-rich plasma. I watched Dr Moura's video. A fellow doctor had a DVT in his arm. It responded to the PRP. I tried it and got relief from the clot almost instantly. So I started using it in my vet practice. Where it seemed to work the best was allergies. Dogs will wear the arm down to the bone from constant allergy itchiness. When I was just starting practice strong steroids was the only thing that stopped the chewing. But over time chronic steroid use led to Cushing's disease. PRP worked better with no side-effects. In cats chronic steroid use often led to diabetes.

There are different classes of steroids. He was using glucocorticoids. In my practice I was prescribing mineralocorticoids,
