    Diagnosed at 25, Tis hella lame. There are days that I genuinely wanna cut my right big toe off because it hurts so much.

    It’s not hopeless though. I started eating healthy, taking glucosamine and cod liver oil, vitamin supplements, drinking plenty of water and the pain has decreased a LOT. Inflammation is a removed and avoiding foods and drinks that aggravate it seems to help a lot, at least for me. It’s not an overnight thing but a couple months down the road, you might go “Huh, I’ve not been as shitty and depressed lately. Oh, I’ve not been in agony as much!”.

    Just my experience, may be worth a go, can’t hurt! Not more than it currently does anyway, haha. Oh, get comfy-ass shoes too. Got me some Nike airs for going out and I would die without them! OH, and check out a 5 minute morning stretch routine. I thought yoga was bull until I was in so much pain I’d try anything and it really did help, just in general with back pain and stuff.

    Good luck, try to stay positive and manage the pain the best you can. Find what works for you and things will get better :)

    Fuck the cure for the common cold, a non-addictive, general purpose, sure fire cure for chronic pain would probably be the medical breakthrough of the century.
