mzsooz, flax seed oil and Bragg oil have a lot of the same benefits.

I have never listed my autoimmune diseases. It might be scary. Lupus since 17, Rheumatoid Arthritis since 23, osteoarthritis, celiac disease, newest dermatitis herpeflora (sp), gout. Four different heart problems and Heaven knows what else. Two blown disks in my back, residual pain from a broken neck. Lupus has attacked various body parts. My ankles are fused as are the joints in the forefoot. Recurring shingles. Partially frozen shoulder. Bursitis in the iliosacral hip joint. I take very little medicine - I am of a mind that the side effects are worse than the disease. An anti inflammatory, heart meds and a lot of supplements. There are ways to get done most of what you want to do. Accommodations and ask for help when you need it. I do like my fingerless craft gloves for lots of things, plus I love my very warm baths. I have the paraffin warmer but haven't tried it. I have two four-legged exercise partners that depend on me to get them out. Furry medication.

Come here and vent, then get back to work.

Vent: I am having a long slow recovery from the last foot surgery and my house is looking rough. Okay, now I feel better and will slowly get started on it.
