If I had a dime for every “cure” for arthritis over the centuries, I'd be able to buy a new car.
You'd think any disease that was cured on a weekly basis would have had SOMETHING of?a r3easonable treatment ?come up if? only accidentally…but NO!
Imagine sitting in an abandoned uranium mine, festooned with coppper bracelets, eating pounds of supplements washed down with quarts of cider vinegar…and STILL aching.
AND….not able to have a double Wild Turkey. ?The Gods Of Karma are truly deranged. ?The greatest anesthesia ?known to humanity, denied to us. ??

Smoke a joint, save your feet.
When I didn't know what was going on, my first real sustained attack, I decided to drink a bottle of Scotch to help me sleep. ?It seemed to add days to the ordeal. ?I finally went to the doctor and upon finding out what I had, they looked at me like I was insane when I told them I had been drinking scotch to deal with the pain. ?
But who knows what effect it will have. ?For me, booze is a solid trigger for more pain. ?And I LOVE booze. ? But those days are seemingly over now. ?
Well, looks like another waster of time and money. ?The last thing I need to do is start wasting money on another pill, especially one that is tits-on-a-bull (worthless). ?It's hard to get a handle on what does any good; it seems for every positive report, there exists a negative.

'Gary, are “San Juan Islands” off the coast of Puerto Rico?”
Nope, this island chain is off the coast of Washington, close to Canada.
I hear ya. ?It seems they like to throw as many med combos towards the wall as they can until they find something that sticks.
Started taking 20 mg of prednisone yesterday, the pain and swelling went down a good bit in my knee, but seems to have, of course, moved to my ankle now. ?Hopefully this allow me to walk in the next few days.
I've been at three hundred with the ap, and that's after going from 100 to 200 (both for a week). ?I've been on it for a month or so now.
I doubt it's pseudo gout, it started in my big toes ten years ago, and then a couple of years back started to travel to my left knee. ?I've had my uric acid tested at the doctor before, and it was fairly high.
I've been getting it hard and heavy in more than one place for about two or three months now, but thought the ap was finally working until two days ago.
