Mooloo I had painful joints in my hands in my twenties. The blood test came back with nothing. I do have arthritis in them and have spurs on some of the knuckles now. I also have it in other joints. My knees have had it but I try to keep going because I don't want to go down the path of replacements yet and I am 61. I think it is the tests that are useless.I was told to take up to 8 aspirin a day and that my pain was probably from a virus !! Needless to say I did not take that advice. I rub olbas oil or lavender oil on any painful joints to ease the pain.

My hands are quite bad at the moment as are my knees. I will have to go back to see the doctor after my holiday. I don't have time before I go.

You need to start taking Turmeric & Black pepper. It has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and can alleviate pain from rheumatoid arthritis, plus lots of other conditions.

Google Golden Paste and (if you're on Facebook) there's a supportive group called Turmeric User Group which is medically run and can supply any info and support you might need.

I have heard about it on here before. I just worry about the taste, smell etc I should be braver! I may have to be!

You can disguise it in other foods.

Candy girl it does help with the pain. I use it at night so i can sleep. I also found putting a pillow behind my knees in bed
helped too though i have no idea why.

Thanks to Feral Moon for bringing up GP. Again. Do hope you decide to try it, Mooloo. In a few weeks' time you'll be amazed - and kicking yourself for all the pain and stiffness you could have avoided!

You can freeze GP in molds like this one:

Then swallow decanted frozen "GP pills" with a drink or yogurt, just as you would any other tablets (always take with food).
Eventually the taste becomes more acceptable; I enjoy the wholesome earthiness of it now. Making GP with coconut oil helps.

I have bitten the bullet and ordered the paste and the trays and will have a go when I get back from Portugal. I will see how it works as I am struggling.
Dgd is off to her school trip and back Friday
I took mum to the fabric shop and we both bought a few pieces and then we had a pub lunch and a little retail therapy in the charity shop before I came home via my massage.
I also bought a couple of things off of the local Facebook car boot so collected them. I am home now with a cuppa and my feet up. BF has arrived but gone out for a run.
I might do a little sewing for myself in the work space I made last week. I am in a creative mood.

Those are exactly the same moulds I use. Each contains exactly 1/4tsp of paste.
