:rofl: My Rheumy that JUST retired made sure to sell his practice to as he calls him - a Little Pup that shares my philosophy of: We aren't here to load people up on pills - we are here to ease their pain and do anything we can to heal. The NSAIDS make the stomach bleed. For folks with AI Diseases - this doesn't allow us to get ahead of ourselves. So I have Alleve as a back up - but I eat between 85% and 90% raw foods (think home made greek yogurt, berries, raw organic nuts, etc. etc.) and drink things like ginger and mint tea - and it helps me to manage my pain while at the same time? The 'flares' are greatly reduced.

We don't give enough credit to the ability of the earth's bounty to help us heal and feel better. If we came out from the deep - then it makes sense that when we reconnect with the deep - we balance our health. I know - up in the air and a bit esoteric, but when I reconnected - it helped me to feel better.
