I'm sorry you have this suffering, sounds horrible. I'm 52 and my joints are starting to have arthritis.

Have you tried to eliminate "deadly nightshade" foods. Many say this helps a lot. THey are tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes (white) and tobacco.

So what problems do they cause? Tomatoes and eggplants were originally used as ornamentals rather than as food as they were considered poisonous. One of the major problems attributed to nightshades is arthritis, a disease which affects most of the population at some point in their life. Dr. Smith’s first article, in Issue 33, ran down an impressive list of animal studies showing calcinosis (the animal version of osteoarthritis) in rats, sheep, rabbits, chicks, and guinea pigs. They aren’t humans, but it is multiple mammalian species undergoing the same process. Further, all food nightshades contain some level of nicotine, the addictive chemical found in tobacco, which could explain why hot stuff is so addictive (to go with the endorphin release to counter the pain). Apparently dietary nicotine can inhibit wound healing above extremely small doses.
