So sorry to hear of your pain. Have you ever tried tumeric as an anti- inflammatory?

I do use turmeric in my food, perhaps I should try using it more often. I was in a bank robbery, that's when the problems started which is way for me, I believe it's over-active nerves. I'm a nervous person anyway due to an emotional childhood.
We can't seem to win can we, but someday. We can hope!

Thanks Carol!

Husband use to hurt enough in the morning he had a hard time putting on his boots. I told him one day to stop eating grains/bread... he use to eat a loaf every 2 days. After 2 days without bread he was dancing around the house, shaking his hips and singing 'I feel good'! Both of us notice when we eat bread or grains, although I have started baking my own bread with unbleached organic flour without problems, but fresh baked bread is more of a treat, not eaten daily.

I also hurt horribly when eating anything with MSG in, there are a lot of products with MSG in. Easy to avoid when eating at home, a little harder to do when eating out.

I also do everything from scratch, unbleached flour is best, yes. Mine seems worse on cloudy cold days. I was in a bank robbery, that's when I was diagnosed. Mine I believe is over active nerves but I don't know for sure. I refuse to take any medication for it. A friend is on gabapentin, not good!

I have to be very careful about breads as well. Although I did find one in the store that I can eat.
Bread for Life makes sprouted grain bread. No outside grain shell which holds glyphosate and its much easier to digest.
Its pretty expensive, so not an everyday thing. But nice when I dont have time to bake my own.
