MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin combo. I swear it does more for me than curcumin.
Mangosteen juice is the best if you can afford it.

For what it's worth, we have been giving my son tumeric for his acne and his face looks so much better. I know much of it is infection, but inflammation as well.
I've been reading up on it and it's supposed to be good for lots of things.

I have been dealing with inflammation well before Lyme and what has helped me the most:
1) Samee 400 (2 x a day empty stomach) 2) Primrose Oil 1300 mg (same as above- take at the same time) 3) Nrf2 (get from my doc's office- supplement) awesome for inflam (1 capsule twice a day) 4) Wobenzym - 4 tablets at the same time as the above cocktail twice a day) 5) Bolouke (1 capsule twice a day - do all of these at the same time)
When taking these and eating an anti inflam diet- I basically have no inflammation. I also do the above for biofilms (bolouke) but I have been amazed at how much that helped with inflam. I had an injury years ago and was taking prescription antinflamatories and had to go off because of liver enzymes. Thus, at that time, I had to find an alternative. If you can only do some of them, I would say Samee and primrose might be good enough for you. This is not a cheap cocktail but I have to work full time so it has been a necessity. I hope this helps. I will be glad to answer any questions!

Momintexas,
I know you want to reduce the inflammation from lupus. If I try to reduce my inflammation I get sicker. For me all of the above make me feel a lot worse except vitamin C.
Please start slowly and discuss it with the lupus doc first. The inflammation might be there to stop the invaders like bacteria, viruses...
Just my personal experience, not medical advice.

Thank you all so much for your replies.
I tried tumeric but it did not like me at all.
Karenl- what do you do for inflammation?

I just take 2 a day now with a meal as I destroyed my knees in sports when I was a kid, but when I was a mess from Lyme, I'd take 3 or 4 with a meal.
