(243 posts)There is one that comes from Vashon Island here in Washington state. It's called "TQI" which stands for "to quiet inflammation." People give good feedback about joint pain, including arthritis and all kinds of other ailments. It's hard to do because it's pretty restrictive. The link is http://www.toquietinflammation.com. I took the class in person but they have it online. The beginning three weeks are pretty tricky, but if you're hurting that bad (I am, too), it's worth trying--at least commit to the "elimination" phase. There is a book and a little recipe book, but you can find them online for cheaper. It's called "The Abascal Way." The founder is Kathy Abascal and she has a background in science. It all makes sense. The class is only $180 (which is way better than so many programs or surgery).
There's also a pain cream that I get from a small company on Whidbey Island. The product is called "MSR" but I don't have the website available to me right now. It seems pretty helpful, too. And, I imagine, that any manner of cannabis products could help, but I don't know much about it yet.
Good luck!!! I know how awful it is to hurt all the fuckn time. I can't take ANYthing for pain since I'm on a blood thinner and NSAIDs affect that, too. Mostly, I just suck it up, but it sure does put a cramp in my style. Fibro and arthritis in hips and knees and hands, and knees without cartilage. GAH!
