You could try turmeric powder - it takes down pain in joints and muscles for me - I get it in bulk at the health food stores and dip 00-size capsules into it. I take one in the am and eve. It works pretty quickly for me. I don't think you can OD on the stuff.
Initially, though, it was antibiotics that took the pain to zero.

Thanks for the suggestion.
My stomach is rough today; I never take NSAIDs except for aspirin and not when I've got tummy stuff going on.
I've read people go on Lyrica for this but I think I'm drawing the line at unproven neuro drugs. Seems pretty likely to make a bad situation worse.

OK, I'll give curcumin/turmeric another shot.
The stuff I bought originally was hopped up, chopped down and blended with "piperacillin" which essentially made it a quinolone. Since I'm pretty sure I got floxed that was too weird even though it was probably a weak quinolone. Still, too much Q for me.
I know *basic* turmeric/curcumin doesn't have the same properties.

Hi! I have Lyme and confection and have constant full body pain. NSAIDs don't touch my pain. I take prescription Tramadol and Butrans patch that releases pain meds for 7 days straight. The patch is nice because I have half the pain when I wake up, after Tramadol wears off.
Turmeric relieves the pain some. I was taking a high dose turmeric and it helped. Now I take Drs. Best Curcumin with Bioprene and it doesn't really help. The Turmeric worked better for me. If I take it more than once a day, I actually get a herx. I read it kills confections. So I have to be careful how much I take if I don't want to feel worse the next day.

In addition to tumeric, Devil's Claw, Boswellia and tons of Nettle has helped me.

I like CBD oil balms (from hemp) on joint inflammation. I have also made some Mag-a-hol, recipe widely available on the internet, from magnesium chloride flakes and vodka. It can be quite effective, although I prefer the CBD oil for daily use.

I have been taking Turmeric for years. I am reading that it isn't easily absorbed but that a pinch of black pepper helps us to utilize it. I am trying that.

Have you tried diet yet (gluten free, dairy free, sugar free)? Diet makes a big difference. I also use a Sota magnetic pulser (reduces pain fast).
