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. -
New blog post on living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and moving to biologics as a treatment:

CW: Links between conditions: LC, ME/CFS, PTSD, RA, MS
"The findings suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as ME), long Covid, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS) may be driven by common underlying mechanisms. ...
"The study found that genes linked to each illness were feeding into the same major biological systems - including immune and inflammatory signalling, mitochondrial energy production, metabolic regulation, stress-response mechanisms and neuroendocrine signalling."
Interesting!
And also a bit comical to suggest that ME/CFS and Long Covid have "largely been viewed as separate disorders", when people with ME/CFS had been saying "hey watch out, this seems similar" since practically the minute LC was identified, or even before!
True about the other three conditions, though. I don't think I've seen _those_ linked (to each other or to the first two), or not commonly at any rate.
Thanks to @trendless for the link.

Good morning tooters. It was a pretty fresh 4c when I woke up at 6.30am to a big fog rolling in & even now 2hrs + later the fog is still hiding everything. The sun is supposed to be coming out later today & again it will reach 16c.
I should maybe think about mowing this afternoon. I might not get another chance for a week or so. It’s not bad, just a bit tatty looking 🤷🏼♀️ meh, not important & my shoulders still ache a little. Tiger Balm works for a while but it isn’t a fix. I will get the Vibit onto it later which is also just a temporary fix. It’s going to take a while I think.
I was also planning an exercise class, but I’ve dawdled so long this morning all I may get done is a short stretch class 😬 - still, any movement helps, so I’ll do what I have to. Off to get organised to visit my sister.
Hope you all have a great #Sunday, hope there’s some sunshine in your day 🌞🌻. #Exercise #Arthritis #AgingBones #WhingingABit 😬. -

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!

Well, that's that sorted.
Signed off work until the beginning of September (at least) due to the pain in my hip and the drugs to manage the pain.
I can't walk properly, if I sit down I can't get up, getting to sit down itself is really hard work, I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in, and I find myself asleep at random points in the day.
Just gotta hope that I get a scan ASAP.

Hey my aged friends. Single data point anecdote for you.
Many months ago I was watching a video about Borax and down in the comments someone mentioned using boron for arthritis.
Well me and my programmer hands decided why not try a little supplement experiment and now after a a few months, with a gap in the middle where the pain returned, I'm reasonably convinced. At least for myself.
Will try another gap after this bottle to test again.

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.
Start your fresh chapter today!

Holy fucking hell the joint pain in my right hip today is the worst it's ever been. I can't put any weight on it even to just adjust to move without intense pain, having to limp because of the pain when I walk.
And I am back on 2 naproxen a day at the moment...
Fuck this weather.

"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.

Curcumin: The Natural Powerhouse for Health and Wellness
When you hear about turmeric, the golden spice that has been a staple in Indian kitchens for centuries, you might think of its vibrant color and strong flavor. But beneath this common spice lies a hidden gem that holds immense health benefits—curcumin. This powerful compound is the primary active ingredient in turmeric and is responsible for most of its health-boosting properties. Despite its incredible potential, many people still aren’t familiar with curcumin and how it can transform their well-being.
I remember when I first stumbled upon curcumin during my own health journey. I had been struggling with persistent joint pain and inflammation, and despite trying various remedies, nothing seemed to work. It was then that I came across curcumin and decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, incorporating it into my routine made a significant difference in reducing my pain.
What Is Curcumin?
Curcumin is a bright yellow compound found in the roots of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa). While turmeric itself has been widely used for its medicinal properties, it’s the curcumin within that delivers the most significant health benefits. Curcumin is a polyphenol, which means it’s rich in antioxidants that protect the body from damage and inflammation.
The catch? Turmeric only contains about 3-5% curcumin, so you would need to consume a significant amount of turmeric to achieve its full effects. Thankfully, curcumin supplements are now available, offering a concentrated dose of this powerful compound.
Health Benefits of Curcumin
Curcumin’s potential health benefits are vast, and research is constantly uncovering more ways it can improve your health. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to add curcumin to your wellness routine:
1. Potent Anti-Inflammatory Properties
One of the most well-known benefits of curcumin is its ability to fight chronic inflammation. Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury or infection, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to diseases like heart disease, arthritis, and even cancer. Curcumin works by blocking molecules like NF-kB, which trigger inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that curcumin can be just as effective as some anti-inflammatory drugs, without the harmful side effects.
2. Rich in Antioxidants
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant, which means it helps neutralize free radicals—unstable molecules that can damage your cells and contribute to aging and diseases. Not only does curcumin scavenge free radicals, but it also boosts your body’s own production of antioxidant enzymes, creating a double-layer of protection.
3. Supports Brain Health
Curcumin has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, which allows it to have direct effects on the brain. It helps increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a type of growth hormone that helps brain cells survive and multiply. Low levels of BDNF have been linked to conditions like depression and Alzheimer’s disease. By boosting BDNF, curcumin may help delay or even reverse brain-related diseases and cognitive decline.
4. Boosts Heart Health
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and curcumin can play a vital role in preventing it. It improves the function of the endothelium, which is the lining of your blood vessels. Poor endothelial function is a major factor in heart disease. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also support heart health by reducing the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries.
5. May Help Prevent and Treat Cancer
Curcumin has been studied for its potential role in fighting cancer. Its ability to reduce inflammation, neutralize free radicals, and inhibit the growth of cancerous cells makes it a promising supplement in both cancer prevention and treatment. While more research is needed, some studies suggest curcumin may help slow the spread of cancer and make chemotherapy more effective.
6. Improves Joint Health
If you suffer from joint pain or arthritis, curcumin could provide relief. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it highly effective in reducing the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Many people find that taking curcumin supplements helps them manage chronic pain without relying on prescription medications.
How to Incorporate Curcumin Into Your Routine
With so many potential benefits, you might be wondering how to get more curcumin into your daily life. Here are a few simple ways to do it:
- Curcumin Supplements: Since turmeric contains only a small amount of curcumin, supplements are the easiest and most efficient way to get a therapeutic dose. Look for curcumin supplements that contain black pepper extract (piperine), as it significantly enhances curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%.
- Turmeric Powder: If you prefer natural sources, turmeric powder is still a great option. Add it to your smoothies, teas, or curries to get some of the benefits of curcumin.
- Golden Milk: This traditional Indian drink is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of turmeric. Mix turmeric powder with warm milk (or a plant-based alternative), add some black pepper and honey, and enjoy a soothing, anti-inflammatory beverage.
- Turmeric Capsules: If you’re looking for a convenient option, turmeric capsules are an easy way to incorporate curcumin into your diet without the taste of turmeric.
Potential Side Effects and Considerations
Curcumin is generally safe for most people when taken in moderate doses. However, in some cases, it can cause digestive issues, especially in high doses. If you have gallbladder problems or are on blood-thinning medications, consult your doctor before taking curcumin supplements.
Additionally, because curcumin can enhance bile production, those with bile duct obstructions should avoid it. As with any supplement, it’s always best to talk to a healthcare professional to determine the right dosage and ensure it’s safe for you.
Recommended Dose
The recommended dose of curcumin for most adults is typically between 500 to 2,000 mg per day, depending on the reason for use. For general health and wellness, a dose of 500-1,000 mg per day is often sufficient. If using curcumin for specific conditions like inflammation or joint pain, some studies suggest taking up to 1,500-2,000 mg per day.
It’s important to note that curcumin has low natural bioavailability, so it’s best taken with black pepper extract (piperine) to enhance absorption. Many curcumin supplements already include piperine for this reason.
Always start with a lower dose to see how your body reacts, and consult with a healthcare professional to determine the right dose for your individual needs.
Curcumin is a true super compound that offers a wide range of health benefits, from fighting inflammation and boosting brain health to supporting heart health and even helping to prevent cancer. Whether you incorporate it into your diet through turmeric or take it as a supplement, adding curcumin to your routine is a simple way to protect your body from disease and enhance your overall well-being.
Give curcumin a try, and you might just discover a powerful ally in your quest for better health, just as I did. Buy here.
