6. My arthritis has progressed to encompass the whole spine, as well...
Mon Sep 29, 2025, 04:44 PM
Monday

although the lower lumbar and S areas are what give me the most pain. I also have fibromyalgia, and my inflammation levels often kick me into lupus flares. I'm in KS, where smiling is looked upon as "what have you done you shouldn't have done?!" I swear, "Illegal Smile" was written about this place! But gods, how I'd love to try what you've found. I've run over to MO for some stuff, which is legal there, but what I found helped for a few weeks but like most meds, my body adapted and it didn't do as well over the long haul. I've been stuck doing pain pills (hydrocodone) for so long, for any kind of relief. But you know how tolerance to those build up. Add to that I worry they're going to end up taking them off the market or make them harder to get as the purists and christianists get wound up even more. Is what you've found offered online, or only through a physical store? I'd pushed the edges for a few day of almost normal behavior of cleaning house again... not to mention sitting on the floor and playing with my cats!
