Pain Subsided

I have rheumatoid arthritis, and just take sulfasalazine now. I was taking this with methotrexate, but had to stop the latter after a year as I kept getting one infection after another.

My experience with turmeric and black pepper

I went on organic turmeric with black pepper tablets and since then never looked back. I hardly have any pain now. They started to work after a week, and I've been on them for a year now. I still take the sulfasalazine with them. Give it a try. Definitely works for me, and there has been some good write ups about it as well.

Thanks for sharing, <inline-mention user-id="3185749" username="wood1tops2"/> ! I have heard really wonderful things about turmeric for arthritis. I try to incorporate it into most of the things I cook but I do think I should start using the actual turmeric root more or taking a tablet like you do. I've never heard of black pepper tablets before but that sounds super cool. I am really glad it's working for you! Always wonderful to find natural alternatives for arthritis treatment.

Thanks for the idea that works for you Wood1tops. I just looked at Amazon and it does not have the Bioglan. Some people use the high strength at 2 caps a day. I am concerned in using them since they are not regulated as other meds are. Let us know if it works for you Franki.
