Recently started acupuncture for tendinitis in my arm that has been extremely resistant to treatment for ongoing 3 months now. Can’t get past the pain. Dr put me on a keto diet for 2 wks to jumpstart decreasing the inflammation in all of my body due to sugar. The only time I actively put sugar in anything was the 2 tsp in my morning coffee, then water all day. I don’t even have a sweet tooth. But everything else I’ve been consuming has so much added sugar! Products that are labeled light have more added sugar than full fat products. There is so much more, it’s been eye opening and I’m already feeling a difference. This has made me getting Covid as I am right now an even bigger fear.

Interesting. I had issues with my arm pre-CoVID that disappeared after a few months of Vitamin D 10k iu/daily after testing showed I had almost none. I’m convinced that helped me stay CoVID free until finally coming down with it last month.

I'm so happy to hear a Dr. that's willing to say that! So many of them mindlessly believe what they're taught in school which in many cases is antiquated or outright false information. It warms my heart to hear that!

If you don't partake in marijuana already, try a THC tincture. Make sure it's full spectrum and isn't flavored. I had inflammation which I saw great improvement in when I started. CBD can work too, but it isn't as strong and the effects don't last as long, at least in my personal experience.

If you're easily addicted to things, stick with cbd.

Indica every night for sleep. It does help with the pain until I fall asleep as well but the straight CBD tincture hasn’t worked as well for me and being stoned all day isn’t an option for me. I didn’t notice any obvious improvement with the inflammation anyway. The herbs the Dr has me on taste pretty horrendous but have helped considerably already.

I take it before bed and I don't ever feel high. It only takes 25mL of the full spectrum tincture to get results. Music will sound a little nicer, but no head rush unless I overdo it with like 75mL.
