Hi all:

I have a bunch of rheumatologic symptoms--major swelling in my hands and feet, burning and very sensitive to the touch. Also swelling in the face, especially the lips.

I've tried carcumin, a supplement with turmeric and frankincense and elavil and nothin is working!

Any tips?

When you got to swollen lips I thought it sounded like an allergic reaction there. What else are you taking?

Have you done anything different lately (change in meds, food, activity)? Has this gotten worse within a certain period of time?

I took some time off treatment for various issues and just recently started again. Also it's been extremely damp and rainy and that always makes my symptoms way worse!

I've had the swollen lips for months now, they are just more painful the last few days. And nothing seems to take the edge off.

I'm also taking fish oil, vitamin C, A B complex, MSM and a multi-vitamin. I've been taking these for several months and no issues.

I feel like it's a herx from restarting treatment but can't be sure.

All I could find of what you're already taking is swelling being a possible MSM side effect. But not the burning/sensitive problems.
