RE: My Knee And Me, a Musical Freewrite
I flopped over, and hit an F!
I can relate, but mine is my right, pointer finger. Seems nobody is sure, but last guy said probably arthritis :(

Better than a thumb! When a thumb hurts, you can do nothing with the whole hand. Maybe the pointer is the same thoug. I have tried so many things these past two months, to no avail, but next I will be trying dried pokeweed berries, no more than two a day for ten days. I have 22 of them drying right now.
I thought of you today! And put you on my list to visit tomorrow, for real! So I am especially delighted that you have dropped by.
Amazing how that happens :)
Never heard of pokeweed berries, but perhaps I'll look into those too. You're probably right that the thumb would be worse and I'm afraid the knee is probably worse than both :/ I've started to just hold it up and use the others.
I remember one of my good friends' Mexican grandmother used to swear by rum-soaked raisins.
Which Pokeweed are we talking about?!
Several berries of this one causes: pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea:
Or is this just in dogs?
The forager/healer who told us this said if you look it up you will find they are poisonous. He cautioned that two and only two berries a day for a max of ten days. They should be dried, then best if chewn but, since they taste nasty, you may grind them and put the dust in a capsule. He swore they helped a 90 year old woman who had been crippled for many years. I'm also doing alternating homeopathic remedies (3 days rhus tox, 3 days ruta grav) and CBD in and out. Essential oils did not work.
I can see how essential oils would not work on this chronic complaint. I can see how the homeopathic remedies are a fair bet. I am interested to hear more about your feelings on how the CBD is working for this specific condition. I hope to hear more from you even after your having experimented with the berries! (You and I both know that "poisonous" is a very state-regulated word on the whole, and on the other hand how one naturally may gravitate towards poisons in nature for a healing friend.) Good luck! My blessings for improvements to you.
Thank you!
Oh those berries ARE poisonous in larger amounts, like most medicinals.
I'll figure this out, because I am sure not going to hobble around for the rest of my life - I am proud of how graceful and strong I am for a woman of my age! This has hit me in my sorest spot - my physical vanity. Maybe a post for NM is in order when I conquer this.
My primary care physician (he's really good and non-invasive) who is also a medical marijuana physician told me the CBD would not work. I feel better though, and at present I am only doing CBD and homeopathy. I try not to do too much at once so that in the end I know what worked.
Thanks for the blessings!
