like i say, it's not so prevalent unless i really stress my hands or have back to back work to do. i just hope it doesn't get worse.
as i mentioned above with the guitar, my fingers lock up from time to time these days too but i can't necessarily give you an example when they do what they do.

Are you sure it is arthritis that you're describing?Quote:

When you said 'arthritis', I was thinking more like ankle, elbow, knee, shoulder, or wrist joints as those are the major areas of pain most will experience suffering episodes from time to time...
I'd like to share something else, but I'm still not sure of what you just mentioned as it concerns your situation - here's something I came across recently, but that's not what I intended to fill you in on:

It is certainly worth a try. I also have a 2yr old Akita with bad skin allergies. Her meds in the summer are $300/month! I couldn’t order fast enough when I saw they had a skin formula.Quote:

i also have very bad flare ups in my right knee which i used to wear a brace on for well over a yr. settled down after i stopped eating gluten. i was diagnosed a while ago with celiac disease. maybe all this discomfort revolves around my allergy to wheat? i'm still cutting out stuff from my diet daily. down to almost nothing to eat and definitely don't enjoy eating anymore but if it keeps my "arthritis" from flaring up then i'm all for eating simple.Quote:

lol i've only had one friend who says he likes salvia and the others say they were scared shitless from it. i did enough lsd back in the day that i have probably seen enough for the whole of humanity. i'm good not venturing down that hole again.Quote:

I used CBD for my King Shepherd's osteosarcoma in his last days, it probably bought him an extra month of quality life..Quote:

Our insurance didn't cover it, but we saved over $30 000 with them over the year for his cancer(he was only given 3 months to live, but somehow made it to 13 months, only began limping slightly after 8 or so), so we didn't mind paying for it:lol
sad and rad story all in one. sorry about your dog man.Quote:

I had the unfortunate luck of living with gluten sensitivity and/or CD at/or around 8 yrs of age which took over 20 yrs before I finally found out what what was causing all that pain... that was about 15 yrs ago when I started using the internet religiously.
I searched all over different forums for sufferers who had similar symptoms to narrow down the responsible disease I was not able to get help for so long... only after the second time around after I decided to start eating regular bread, cake, & many others that were mostly based on wheat grain - that was 2 yrs after being on a gluten free diet which made me feel good again that I thought I could just go back to eating wheat based products as they were available everywhere.
So, my first experience with arthritis pain started one early morning around 4 AM when I was awaken by this intense pounding/throbbing pain in one of my knees that had swollen up to 1.5 times it normal size which felt really warm to the touch as if it was having a fever of its own. It lasted hours & I had a hard time getting out of bed to get ready for school.
Next came the skin rash, that was located in a very sensitive area & formed blisters that would try up & cracked open making life a living hell until new skin emerged to replace the old taking about 3-4 days.
I also suffered from anxiety/depression, not being able to gain/put on weight, to oily skin... about 4-5 yrs later I also became allergic to crustaceans (crabs & shrimps especially) as eating them would make my whole mouth itch to the point that I'd rather put a bullet in my head than trying to find relief by scratching the inside of it, much less the throat area.
Anyways, after going GF for the initial 2 yrs. & then eating regular stuff again thereafter, the symptoms were still the same as before but this time a couple of newer ones appear as the body fought back even more. This time, the blisters formed deep under the skin behind my lower neck area & it burnt/itched even worse than anything I've experienced previously. Another time I had arthritis in my right hand, yes the whole hand - fingers & wrist - which lasted almost a week & made driving & going to work very very unpleasant.
After 3-4 weeks of that, I realized why things were getting so bad again & had since been GF ever since.
Thanks for sharing the experience!
here's an update on alamo botanicals... they don't know shit for shit. my buddy went in there to get a gram of their "flower" even though i told him it's bs and he asked a simple question of their "professional"; he asked, "is this coming from actual bud or industrial hemp", and the "professional" claimed it's all the same while the packaging claims industrial hemp. hemp and bud are so far from each other it's clear as day when you see each side by side. as well, one is rich in thc while the other is severely lacking thc to the point of having to smoke a whole field to get high and by then you'd be dead off the lack of O2.
like i've said before, real cbd is derived from bud and it's the synergistic affect you get from both combined. not to say the cbd in hemp isn't real but the affect isn't because it lacks thc.
the people at alamo botanicals hire retards who are just ill informed 20 somethings selling snake oil to the masses. how they even keep the doors open in stone oak is beyond me especially selling bunk shit at $15 gram. fuck that bs!
I've had CBD tincture with THC and without and couldn't really tell a difference tbqh. CBD from hemp helps some people, I think it's silly to dismiss it out of hand.Quote:

all cbd on the market, not in legal marijuana distribution states, has a thc percentage of .3 and come from industrial hemp. looks like you got whatever you got in colorado and most likely comes straight from bud with a high cbd content. i could be wrong seeing as i couldn't find anything cbd on their website but being located in colorado has me thinking they source from high cbd bud which isn't industrial hemp whatsoever.Quote:

very interesting but unfortunately i can't go this route unless it's just fully chicken. i rarely if ever eat red meat; i'll have a steak once or twice a yr but pretty much chicken daily. i don't eat much at all these days due to my limitations atm until i decide to make it a priority to start cooking for myself.Quote:

anyone juice at all? i have never done it but i own a couple bullets. lol! a buddy of mine, who is always in peak physical shape, juices religiously and made me some chard, plus other stuff too, drink for me which i thought was going to be horrendous but it was actually not that bad. wondering, because i haven't done any research of juicing at all, if juicing would help as well with inflammation.
I think it would definitely help as long as you’re not going heavy on the fruits. And using a machine that doesn’t separate the fiber out.Quote:

Lemon seems to be the best thing to make them tolerable. Doesn’t always make them tasty but it can mask a lot of the bad tastes.Quote:

Basically, anything with fins or 2 legs & wings... no 4 legged ones - cats, cows, deers, dogs, horses, pigs... :lol
Did not know much about JP's diet until I saw the above video yesterday along with his daughter's on JR... thought that was somewhat extreme as I would hate sticking to just eating nothing but fish & white meat :lmao
I grew up eating rice daily, so I'm thankful that I'm not allergic to that at the least.
My main staples now are beans, brown rice, lentils, or regular/sweet potatoes along with most veggies, nuts, or fruits whenever available.
98-99% of what I consume is bought, cooked, or prepared by myself so I know exactly what's mixed inside that pot
Another thing is I don't use regular sugar at all in my daily life - tea or coffee are simply plain at home or with honey/stevia during trips.
As for fruit juices, I always dilute/mix them 50/50 with H2O or carbonated water... probably been 20 yrs since I've had any type of commercial sodas - no beers, just red or white wine occasionally.
When I went totally GF for the 2nd time, I forced myself not to take aspirin or other OTC pain relievers for any type of aches & it has made my body less dependable on them that I hardly feel pain nowadays & even when there's a minor flareup, it goes away very quickly within a day or less.
The last time I've seen a doctor for anything was over 12 yrs ago... prescription whatever, no thanks :nope
