The most important items for me are Ginger and Tumeric. They decrease inflammation. And that is where the pain comes from. Prior to taking these two ingredients, I'd get red areas over the inflammation. Outrageous pain! I'm so thankful that they work for me. I'm not pain free, but I'm not suffering like I was. Hot baths with Epsom salt, baking soda, and whatever essential oils I'm in the mood for, help as well. Especially after a long work day on my feet. I don't take Pharm meds either. Diet changes and regular exercise only add to aiding with decreasing inflammation. I wish you relief. And get plenty of rest! It's a constant battle. 💜💙

There is a direct relationship between the amount of pain in my feet and the severity of the exacerbation of my disease. I have been limiting my weight-bearing activities for over a decade, and it really helps to control my relapses. Limiting my weight-bearing activities has had a massive impact on my quality-of-life; I literally control the number of steps that I take per day. (I have RA, Sjogrens, and dermatomyositis).

Vitamin E and fish oil as well as

Biotin has helped me.

Massages and reflexology as well as a good soak in the tub and essential oils to help in Relaxing.

Hope this helps.
