It's weird this conversation comes up a day I spent looking in to supplements.

I am no doctor but I do suffer from a genetic disorder that deteriorates connective tissues, fucking with my joints and nerves.

To put things into perspective there was a point in my early 20s where I remember petting the dog, crying out of sheer pain with the refusal to let this take him from me. He was just staring at me awkwardly wondering why I was being such a bitch. The pain was similar to that of a bone scope the first night after surgery when the narcotics stop working in the middle of sleep.

TurmericX or something like that was a blend of Turmeric with 25 other helpful herbs: garlic, ginger, cherry.....idrk them all but that seemed to help tho a partner ended up giving it away to their mom as it caused itching. My mother (gave me this genetic issue) also take turmeric as recommended by her specialist along with a shit ton of other things that have been mentioned.

Honestly cutting carbs completely felt great. Though realistically it could have been cutting all that garbage like pastries, custard, I'm a fat ass. Eating a high meat low carb diet feels good on my body too. Low carbs basically being vegetable to help the protein down. Cutting grains, fructose, added sugar. Intermediate fast might have helped with this or maybe it's just easier to diet in one meal.

Ohh yahh cutting alcohol out definitely helped with that and I've heard similar from other people who suffer from anti-inflammatory diseases.

But the number one thing that helps combat issues for me is regular stretching. I believe it was you that mentioned greasing the glove?

Thats how I've been stretching since before my hip surgery and it has done wonders on the way I feel. Whenever I've got a minute and always after a workout. Normally right after I get up and before I got to bed. Just a little 10 minutes here. 5 there. Quick touch your toes then back to life.
