I have struggled with some form of joint pain for about 15 years. It was initially diagnosed as gout. Ok fair enough. So I took steps to avoid triggers (diet). I would have 2-3 flares per year usually in the winter months and just work through them. My thought was maybe I am not drinking enough water because its cold and therefore not flushing out my system?

Fast foward to Covid years. I got the first dose of the vaccine when it came out, which I regret. Since I had that vaccination my symptoms have increased in both severity and frequency. Used to be my ankles and now I can have a flare pretty much anywhere. I had tests conducted and my panels indicate an auto-immune arthritis (psoriatic). I am working on a treatment plan but at times its pretty rough. Last winter I was so bad I had to go to the ER twice. I am not saying it caused my condition, I think it was always there.

I am wondering this: Could the vaccine have triggered something given it was supposed to interact with my immune system? Has anyone else experienced a change in their health after the vaccine?

I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to laxatives now which I wasn’t before as there is some ingredient in the vaccine that is put in the laxatives also. Found out when I was doing a cleanse for a colonoscopy.
 
It must be real 100% tart cherry juice and not some sugar added drink...but some people believe.


Some studies have looked at the effect of tart cherry juice on gout, a type of arthritis accompanied by repeated attacks of swelling and intense pain (20Trusted Source).

Drinking tart cherry juice seems to reduce blood levels of uric acid — a chemical that can trigger gout when present in too high concentrations (21Trusted Source).

In addition, several studies report that regular consumption of fresh cherries or tart cherry juice may be linked to a reduced risk in the frequency and severity of gout attacks (22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).

However, the total number of studies on this topic is limited and most are observational.

Thus, it is difficult to determine whether the cherry juice is the cause of the reduced symptoms or whether people with fewer gout symptoms are more likely to use alternative treatments like tart cherry juice.

My Grandma had good results with the cherry juice. Back, knees, etc.

But she’s also dead now, coincidentally.

Drink that stuff everyday. Only fruit juice I drink. And yes the tart stuff.

Yes.

She’d drink a little bottle a day and take a spoonful of some sort of concentrate.

I also planted her a couple Montgomery cherry trees. No idea if the cherries need to be that kind or if she just liked that kind.

Lived on her own until she was 91. Died her first morning in hospice. Miss her very much.

I am struggling with Achilles tendinitis. Goes from right to left, and lasts about 2 to 3 months per side.
