Best Vitamin For Arthritis Please

[smurfchops]

Fish oil, Glucosamine, Turmeric? To be compatible with Simvastatin and Levothyroxine please. Thanks all

As APG does, I have also tried CBD oil and found it to work for me. I know it gets mixed results.

Hi sqad, l take 50 micro grams Levothyroxine and 20 mg Simvastatin daily, l was told in October 2018 I had bronchiecstasis but touch wood have had no bad coughs or lung infection since. I take Vit D usually only through winter months, seems to help with colds and sore throats. I have had arthritis in one hip for around 6 years, other hip not too bad, shooting pains in kneecaps from time to time, cramp in toes as well!! Otherwise fine, I can walk with no problem. Never smoked. Think that’s about it!! I am 72 by the way ...

APC......TUMERIC is quite the opposite to causing inflammation, it has ANTI inflammatory properties which why it is alleged by some to be helpful in osteo arthritis.
It plays no part in pain relief of rheumatoid arthritis.
Magnesium will ot affect your AF inane adverse way.

Apc and anyone else ...if you are on blood thinners, turmeric is not recommended.

They are making a human version of Yumove now and a couple of my neighbours swear by it.

I was diagnosed with RA aged fifty and am now 72. I still have RA flare ups ,have chronic whole body OA and spinal stenosis which limits my mobility. If I had saved the amount of money I've spent on all these supplements ,vitamins and quack remedies I've taken over the years I'd be a lot richer .None of them have ever worked for me.
I stick with the medication prescribed to me by my doctor and pain management clinic.
If there was a cure for arthritis in any form people would be queuing round the block.

Thank you Pasta and Sqad, I even got myself mixed up! I can't take Tumeric because of digestive issues and I am on blood thinners. So I can't take any antiinflamatory drugs like Ibuprufen. I cannot take stronger pain killers because they cause hallucinations and I can't take statins. The Pain Clinic could only advise coping strategies through counselling. So paracetamol and antidepressants are all I can have for pain. I get by, just about. I will put myself back on the magnesium and I do take Vitamins D3 and B12. My list of ailments just gets longer and longer.

A very wise statement. If everyone recognised this then the thousands peddling quack remedies would soon go out of business. Meanwhile they're just milking the gullible (still a very profitable market, the snake oil salesman is far from a thing of the past).

Do you really think anyone taking remedies for Arthritis think they will be 'cured'? I am well aware degenerative conditions cannot be cured with any medication quack or otherwise. In my opinion, and personal experience, supplements plus a lifestyle change can alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions. Surely a supplement known to have anti-inflammatory properties must have an impact on conditions where pain is a result of inflammation?
Cannabis and Turmeric with Curcumin have had a positive effect on my personal pain management to the point I very rarely need any painkillers, but I concede that it's the T-cell blocker that has got me from walking with a stick to riding my horses once again.

I was all set to give Tumeric a go before I found out it couldn't be taken if you were on blood thinners. Apart from Paracetamol and my anti depressants I now take no prescription meds for pain. They turned me into a zombie with hallucinations. I obviously take my blood pressure tablets. I was taken very quickly off statins when my blood tests showed they affected my liver very badly and my liver returned to normal.

I amazed them when I had my new shoulder (a reversed shoulder) and managed without morphine and strong pain killers. Pain killers are a dangerous route to go down for anybody except in acute situations Our bodies can learn to cope more than we think.
