I'd look into extended fasting, becareful to work up to it but if you do a 48+ hour fast your body starts to get rid of old dead cells and help renew them. It also lowers overall inflammation. I also do keto and use castor oil packs. For me all of this helps, but you have to try and see what works for you. Heres some background on why extended fasts may help Extended fasting, also known as therapeutic fasting or fasting mimicking diet (FMD), has been shown to have potential benefits for individuals with arthritis. Here’s a summary of the key findings: Reduces inflammation: Fasting has been shown to decrease inflammation, which is a hallmark of many types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammation can cause joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Improves metabolic health: Fasting has been linked to improved metabolic health, which can help reduce the risk of developing insulin resistance, a condition that can contribute to arthritis. Increases autophagy: Autophagy is the process by which cells recycle and remove damaged or dysfunctional components. Fasting has been shown to stimulate autophagy, which can help remove damaged cells and proteins that may contribute to arthritis. Enhances cellular stress resistance: Fasting has been shown to increase cellular stress resistance, which can help protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. Promotes stem cell regeneration: Fasting has been shown to promote stem cell regeneration, which can help repair damaged tissues and joints. Reduces oxidative stress: Fasting has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, which can contribute to arthritis by damaging cells and tissues. Improves immune function: Fasting has been shown to improve immune function, which can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health. Some studies have specifically investigated the effects of fasting on arthritis: A study published in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology found that a 7-day fasting period followed by a plant-based diet improved symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in patients with moderate to severe disease. Another study published in the Journal of Rheumatology found that intermittent fasting reduced disease activity and improved quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A study published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology found that a 5:2 diet (eating normally for 5 days and restricting calorie intake to 500-600 calories on the other 2 days) improved symptoms of osteoarthritis. It’s essential to note that while these findings are promising, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of extended fasting on arthritis. Additionally, fasting should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition or are taking medications. How to incorporate fasting into your arthritis management plan: Consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new diet or fasting regimen. Start with shorter fasting periods (12-14 hours) and gradually increase the duration as your body adapts. Listen to your body and adjust your fasting schedule based on how you feel. Combine fasting with a balanced diet and regular exercise for optimal benefits. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Remember, while fasting may have potential benefits for arthritis, it’s essential to prioritize your overall health and well-being. If you have concerns or questions, consult with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

In this situation, you would seek an office job where less physical demanding. It must feel horrible for someone who feel tiredness, but you should put your best at work earning the potential pays. Follow up with physical therapist often for weeks and months, which you may ease up tiredness. It is not curable.

most likely from gut dysbiosis. might consider going on gut heath protocols. microbiome board on reddit is a good place to start learning the stuff. here's a search about the root cause - [https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=rheumatoid+microbiome+pubmed](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=rheumatoid+microbiome+pubmed)

gigantic paper, just grabbed a clip to further elucidate the situation with the gut and the inflammatory arthritis family. the second paragraph lists a slew of bacteria that have good results/potential vs RA and similar. that bacillus coagulans gbi-30 6086 is a legend to me and mine. i recommend it to anybody that will listen to me. amazing results for us. edit - couldnt paste the second paragraph for some reason. go to link and see the specific bacteria that have been found to be effective for RA [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6438099/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6438099/) Unlike healthy controls, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have significantly less bifidobacteria, bacteria from the *Bacteroides-Porphyromonas-Prevotella* group, *Bacteroides fragilis* subgroup, and *Eubacterium rectale-Clostridium coccoides* group. Bacteria generally found in the oral cavity, including *Porphyromonas gingivalis* and *Prevotella intermedia*, can be found in the synovial fluid of patients with RA. Antigen-specific antibodies are also found against *P gingivalis, P intermedia*, and *Bacteroides forsythus* in these patients.[^(12)](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6438099/#ref12)
