I certainly know what you're going through,last summer I was unable to stand and couldn't even dress myself some days :-(

Pain killers were useless so I took Traveler's advice and started taking Turmeric.

I then added Boswellia,Rose Hip and quite recently Green Lipped Mussel extract,the effects have been miraculous!

I am 90% pain free and can function nearly normally for the first time in 18 months.

I also use an Ion foot bath to detox which I highly recommend.

Hope this helps.

Tickled :-)

Sorry Tickled, but every time I see you post something about that Green lipped mussel extract .... I have to smile and giggle!!! There's just something about the thought of seeing a green lipped mussel and us having Lyme (as in 'Lyme green') LOL!!! turn

Since Tickled told you what I started - turmeric - all I can add is that ginger root is also good as well as the other things that Tickled mentioned!

Nettle Leaf. Buhner recommends 1200mg/day. I buy in bulk online.

When I don't take the nettles, my hands hurt and I cannot use them for anything...

With the nettles, I have no pain & stiffness at all in my hands.

I just wanted to add that eicosatetraenoic acid( say that after a couple of drinks) which is found in the mussels seems to help to repair damaged cartlidge and muscle tissue and slow down general wear and tear.

Trav, yes, the name makes me smile,too, but as I once said,I would happily swallow putrified camel dung if it helped yeah

Okay, EWWWW!!! I dont' know if I could ever swallow putrefied camel dung!!! smhair

And I pretty sure that I can't say 'eicosatetraenoic' no matter what state I was in!!! LOL! YEP!! I just went to a site that pronounced that for me and I'll never try to say it!!! LOL!!! turn I would have my tongue so wrapped around my teeth, I'd never be able to swallow again!! LOL!!!

I got a lot of relief when I added Serrapeptase to my routine, it eats dead protein so I think it's getting the inflammation at the joints. Also staying strict on the diet helps a lot. If I get any gluten into my diet I'll wake up with super stiff knuckles the next day.
