I have been taking gelatin collagen for a few months now. My joint pain is non-existent. I purchase my gelatin from GreatLakesGelatin.com. It is worth every penny! Gelatin is great for connective tissues, hair, nails, skin and joints. It is amazing how quickly I felt the effects as well. You can get gelatin that is either hot or cold soluble as well as a flavored version for water.
I also started using cannabis which seemed to break the whole pain cycle prior to my daughter discovering the benefits of gelation supplementation. I cannot say enough about cannabis when it comes to pain in general. Of course the bad side effect has been weight gain due to munchies. I am working on reigning that part of it in. I would highly recommend vaporizing cannabis rather than smoking it. My vaporizer is from Aroma-Tek in Olympia WA. It is sold as a potpourri vaporizer and is completely awesome.
I have not gotten a medical card yet but am considering it so that I can grow my own strains high in CBD which is what you want for pain issues. High THC is also high munchies factor it seems to me.
I did make CBD oil which was great. I took it just before bed and that seems to be what broke the pain syndrome from the psoriatic arthritis. My sister had the same experience. We are currently looking for a delivery method that my father could use as well.
I will update if there are any changes, but at this point I am quite sure that I have found the system to manage this arthritis. I do believe however that I will have this to deal with for the rest of my life. I think that once a immune problem has been switched on that it is permanent. Diet is also a huge factor. I highly recommend testing for food intolerances and adjust your diet accordingly. I cannot each wheat, dairy or sugar in quantities for than an occasional serving. I will feel hung over the next day with brain fog and lack of energy as well as a headache.
