When I am in terrible pain and nothing helps. Believe it or not I go to a chiropractor. They have helped my . After a few visits it feels like a miracle, no more pain. Has been about 6 months since I have had bad pain. Now to tell you the truth it has helped me more than drugs. But don't get me wrong I still need my meds but pain is under control. Have a wonderful day
Reading has helped me and going to the chiropractor massage is great. My snake is a great distraction from the pain I love to take her out so she can get in her baby pool. I start aqua therapy tomorrow and we will see how it goes.
SK this post has been very helpful !!
I have found great results with a calcium/ magnesium supplement , message, being out in the warm sunshine and keeping a positive attitude
A very low dose fentanyl patch 12mcg, the lowest that is made , helps with the morning stiffness and the Savella 1/2 tab 3 x day with food has also worked good for me.
Warm pool therapy can loosen muscles and get the blood flowing, that has helped in the past
The anti- inflammation diet ( just stop eating sugar ) and gluten free have also made a big difference
I try to make fresh veggies 50% of my diet & I eat a lot of Salmon, fish & tuna
Omega 3 is also a supplement I try not to skip as well as vit D3
For sure Tammy! Gotta laugh! My little 3 year grand son made me laugh until the tears rolled and I was breathless this past weekend, said he would be back again this weekend, it's Thursday, not sure I am up to it yet! They have so much energy compared to my Mom and I!
Hi Luna! Though I am on some pretty heavy meds, I still love herbs and naturals for so many things, esp for the grand kids! With PsA, I have to do everything I can to slow it down, so no going without my Enbrel!
