  1. I think pre-emptive dosing myself with co-codamol before the arthritis hits my fingers is working. I've only had to use the splints for relief once this week so far.
    The GP has increased the co-codamol strength so hopefully even that'll improve.

  6. OK, here's a one for the almost inevitable neurochemists out there in FediLand, if any of you might be so kind!

    "I Was Watching"(!) this YouTube thing tonight from this young man, who was telling me that Stinging Nettles are a great treatment for (implied) minor to moderate Arthritis, bcs weird anti-inflammatory doohickey chemicals in the contents.

    Does this sound even vaguely plausible?

    Because I'm always happy when my knuckles shut-up and stop 'biting' at me, especially when I'm trying to sleep, but not keen to get stung just for someone else running a 'gullibility test' online!

  11. A fresh chapter

    The babies are nearly grown!

    Yes, even in your 60s you can have a fresh chapter.

    For the past year, every three months is a fresh chapter. My husband and I go to the oncologist. I get my exam. And the doctor says, “No cancer.” I feel refreshed (until the next three months when I start to panic, toss a sugar-free CBD gummy in my mouth and, show-time!) Just a few more month of this, then it will be every six months until the 5-year mark and I am cleared. (Last year I had first grade uterus cancer and got a full hysterectomy. No chemo. No radiation. But check-ups every three months).

    And this time, with this new chapter, is another new chapter I’ve been dealing with — osteoarthritis. There is soreness around my thumb. The good news is, I can type effortlessly (whew! Because if I had to end my writing career, I’d be very bummed out). It’s just that opening jars or bottles is challenging. Also, sometimes using a scissor is painful.

    BUT …. The good news is, I’ve been going to an amazing occupational therapist and I’m feeling better. Two weeks ago I beat my husband at air hockey! My hand was sore, but healed fast and I quickly forgot about it. It was worth it! LOL!

    The young lady who has been helping me (I go once or twice a week, depending on my schedule) is so awesome, I sent her flowers for her birthday this week.

    The place I go to is a 45 minute drive away (I prefer the pretty backroads over the insanity of driving the Parkway) but so worth it. I look forward to those days, popping a favorite CD in and basking in the music and beautiful trees and homes I see along the way.

    My original plan was acupuncture for my hand. This same place has two acupuncturists — both are fantastic. So whatever day I go, depending on my schedule, it’s a win/win.

    I’m also doing some physical thearpy for a disc herniation that’s been healing, but never healed 100 percent. I have no idea where it came from, but I started having symptoms a month after a car accident in October 2024.

    My back is nearly healed except for some minor lower back sensations, kind of like when you’re young and you get period backaches. It doesn’t bother me, but I want to stay healthy. Sometimes I don’t feel it at all, it comes and goes.

    The physical thearpy is challenging. I work out at home every single day with all the at-home gym tools — a yoga ball, yoga blocks, a calf roller, light weights (up to eight pounds). But here they have me lifting 20 pound weights to straighten my core.

    And the punchline is, I get home and I am so energized I want to do more. I’ll ride my stationery bike, and go for a very long walk.

    I just keep pushing myself because as fitness guru Denise Austin says, “If you rest, you rust!”

    That was my mantra when I was healing my my hysterectomy last year. People hear “cancer” and “hysterectomy” and they think you need rest. In some cases, I’m sure you do, but in my case, the doctor wanted me to get back to normal asap. I had one day to rest after I got out of the hospital. One day to not take a shower. By the second day I showered and by the third day I took a half hour walk. Resting would have meant the risk of getting a blood clot.

    And to this day, when I’m offered a seat, I refuse and stand.

    As a writer it takes me about 45 to 90 minutes to write an article, depending on how much I have to research and fact check. When I remember, I’ll put a back support on. When I’m done writing, I’m up immediately Get a drink, look away from the screen.

    And I make sure after every meal (usually two big ones and some snacks) I exercise. (Actually I exercise before breakfast, to earn my big breakfast, then afterwards I’m on the bike).

    I recently saw a video about the beautiful actress, famous for being on the hit 1980s show Dynasty (which I never watched, but how could I not know about it, it was so popular!) Donna Mills.

    She shared her struggles with arthritis which started in her 20s. She’s now in her 80s, and beautiful as ever (even if she did get work done, it’s not overdone — and wow, does she look fantastic!) She also shared her health regimen which was a lot of vegetables even though she’s not vegan and movement.

    Yes, that sounded familiar. No matter what health challenge you are going through, it’s awesome to know we can be inspired by celebrities, or even people in our own circles, to keep going, keep moving, and live your life to the fullest!

    If you have no health challenges, it may be rare, and it’s a beautiful blessing. But many of us do. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to blame ourselves for. Shit happens!

    It’s how we view these challenges and move through life with them. As we take care of ourselves, we can inspire others.

    Nice skeptic article as any true science should be. Anything that links the 2011 Russo paper "Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects" is to be celebrated. Here is the link again in case somebody missed it.

    bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

    Russo's paper has been cited 1,161 times and it deals with exogenous cannabinoids and terpenes synergy, not just endogenous o made inside our body, as did the original 1998 Mechoulam research.

    Indeed, due to obsolete prohibitionism and sad profit-comes-first mentality, the current cannabis and hemp markets are a wild west of fake adultered product and unproven claims.

    Yet since 2011 hundreds of studies have confirmed the entourage effect. Here is a small and incomplete collection of full spectrum extract papers 2004-2023.

    cvresearch.info/full-spectrum-

    OPs article calls for more standarized extract testing, even though Big Pharmas really prefers patentable, cheap to make, single molecule, symptom masking drugs. Good luck with that.

    I agree with the article bottomline: governments should step up to the research task instead of trusting this critical matter to profit-driven corporations. Mixed isolate cannabis pharmaceuticals have been in the market for over a decade and proven their capabilities and limitations.

    That is the case of Sativex, a 700 US$ 1:1 (thc:cbd) oral spray that controls some symptoms of MS yet fails to work for other conditions. Three separate studies ( Israeli, Brazilian and American) have since proven that full flower artisanal extracts are up to 6x more effective than expensive isolate preparations like Sativex

  18. "A bias against cannabis still exists today. While the roots of weed prohibition have many unfortunate layers, storytelling played a huge role in negative public opinion around the plant. Some publications continue to feed into the modern version of “Reefer Madness,” what I call Reefer Madness 2.0. One article from a respected legacy publication just last year centered on how to get your neighbor evicted for smelling like weed. Not only is this type of storytelling cruel and inhumane (what if they are a medical patient, or a child with epilepsy?), most importantly, it’s not based on science."

    Nice sunday read. The article goes on to propose to 1. Reframe Weed As Wellness, 2. Lean On Peer-Review Studies and 3. Dare To Question Existing Tech Platforms (and censorship). It advocates for invite-only discord grow diaries, yet fails to mention the #fediverse and #mastodon as great tools to keep #freedomofexpression and #humanrights going.

    Lets get that corrected. Help me share this and let Rolling Stone know about our existence.

  25. #Kortison hilft bei rheumatoider #Arthritis gut, seine Nebenwirkungen sind aber gefürchtet.

    Eine #CharitéBerlin Studie zeigt jetzt: Wird es niedrig dosiert, steigt zumindest der Blutdruck auch nach zweijähriger Therapie nicht an. Und die oft befürchtete Gewichtszunahme fällt mit rund einem Kilogramm moderat aus.

    Late to the intro party, but hello #NEISvoid 👋🏼 I’m Beth (I also post @beth_morton).

    I moderate #MigraineChat spaces (see my About links), live with chronic #migraine, IBS, likely psoriatic #arthritis and a few other straggling conditions that are annoying, but not as disabling.

    I live in the northeast US, hate winter, love my cat, and do some freelance research/advocacy work when I feel up to it.
