Well dang it Kizzie. That just... pfff! I don't know - yeah, what Dutch said.
There's a journey ahead but at least you can put a name to it now, offering some sense of relief in that there's a course of action to take
I'm of the mindset to create wellness through food; as KayFly said, juicing is a tremendous way to assist the body in cleansing toxins and nurturing the very cells that create life for us. it's a good deal! I juice most every day, eat a lot of raw foods and drink things like ginger tea which helps with inflammation.
I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus in 95? somewhere in there... Anyway, I thought "what is the point in trying?" because I watched a woman die (horribly) with SLE so I figured what the *, you might as well write yourself off. And I did. For a year, I couldn't get out of bed.
But then I got out of bed. I decided that it wasn't going to happen this way, that I had a family and a business to run and besides, I want to travel; if I was dead, I couldn't do that....Right??? So. On with it. It wasn't until 2011 that I ditched the Celebrex and I'm not symptom free at this point but a whole lot better. I believe in the power of loving the body with healing thoughts (this part is hard for me but I do my best) a can do attitude and good nutrition. For me, when I work it, it works for me.
Going back to the ginger... its my "go to" analgesic for arthritis symptoms because it deals with inflammation which then helps the pain. If you can make tea, that's a great way to do it, either hot or cold but when pain is bad, hot is best. And it works fast !Maybe it could help you.
Oh! And the power of an Epsom salt bath works wonders for muscle pain too!
You take care of yourself Kizzie and have a lovely day!
