I take tumeric for arthritis. Has anyone tried it with savella? I could not do traditional anti-inflammatories with savella.

I recently started taking turmeric but I do not take Savella . I take Gabapentin and it seems to work fine so far with the turmeric .

No savella,

But i sure use an anti -inflamatory , tumeric, and fish oil, for neuro-inflamation.

My blood work does not show inflamation, i am told its at the cellular level. When i have tried to wean off it.. I stiffen up like i am 90.

I had no side effects when i started on the tumeric. If i buy a cheap brand, it provides no help..so i take a higher quality supplement to get the help.

I only take high quality suppliments, but be wary. I just recently purchased one from NOW foods, and it lowered my blood sugar to the nth degree, and made me really sick. I am going back on the one from another company b/c it worked way better. This medication has no equal in my opnion. I have both arthritis and fibro, I laughed when you said you stiffen up like a 90 year old. Same here, but it takes a while. It lasts for a while after discontinuation. I woke one night in such terrific pain weeks after stopping that my husband had to rush me to the ER. ( where they gave me opiates-- I threw the prescription away) I went back on turmeric the very next day and had relief almost instantly. I am leary of savella. Scary side effects and high price tag.

Have you heard if Turmeric will cause a problem with Gabapentin? I have wondered if I could wean off of the Gabapentin by taking a good anti-inflammatory herb. Does anyone have experience with this?

My Rheumy hates gabapentin. He claims other rheumy's give out like candy, and he's not crazy about it. I have no idea if it will interfere. I do know that you ca NOT take it with tylenol or other anti inflammatories. I would ask a knowledgeable pharmacist. They should be able to determine if it will cause an issue.

Hi,

I use Chapter One tumeric , to me its pricey ,but so far i have not found a cheaper brand that helps as much.

Go to a health food store or high quality natural food store, such as Whole Foods. You should be fine with anything you purchase there.

Many turmeric pills sold at health food stores actually won't be very helpful. Turmeric without black pepper isn't very effective. Look for either turmeric with black pepper or curcumin with piperine.

Tiger, you can't post links to places that are selling something. It's against the forum rules. You can tell where you get a product and the name and mg. of the product though. Thanks for understanding.

By the way, when I had to stop taking ibuprofen for a while, I took a product called Curamin that really helped me and it helps people with arthritis. It is a combination of four things. It contains Tumeric and boswellia. I can't remember the other things. You can look it up online. Hope this helps you.

how do you use turmeric for arthritis? method?
Posted 8/17/2016 4:25 PM (GMT 0)
I tried turmeric for a while for fibro and arthritis pain. It seems to help a little but is very mild. It doesn't work instantly like an opioid, but after a few hours it makes a small difference.

When considering taking anything talk to your doctor first!

I take Tumeric and also gabapentin and cymbalta. I didn't know you can't take it with Tylenol. Is that just at the same time or at all? I've taken it the same days and nothing happend. But I can't say the Tumeric has helped much. I also do NinxiaRed from young living oils. I thought that was helping me but recently nothing seems to be helping. It's all trial and error and sometimes I feel like I'm chasing cures and I'm just on a merry go round I want off of!!
