    I don’t know how to explain how awesome it is when you have some relief from debilitating pain. The drugs are mostly poison, but hey.

      Have you tried cannibis? Heavy CBD topicals do wonders for my hands, a nice bit to smoke gives near-instant relief, and an edible or tincture helps the inflammation for a longer term. My wife uses hemp-derived salves and tinctures because she doesn’t like the feeling of being high, and has been a daily user since the first time she tried. It hasn’t cut the need for the rheumatoid meds entirely, but it’s helped delay an increase in dosage.

        I actually can’t. It’s an employment thing. I have tried it early in the process, but it’s really hard for me to sort out what any individual thing does.
