Does anyone have arthritis?

What do you find that helps it or makes it worse?

I have arthritis in various parts of my body (just like my mom and her family), and I have noticed that eating zucchini or other squash makes it unbearable.

Right now, it's all under control except that my feet hurt sometimes, especially when I try to go for my walks/hikes. It takes a while to warm up and for the pain to go away.

I used to think that using the body more would help arthritis and I even got mad at my mom for giving up her crocheting when her hands hurt too much. I was wrong because I discovered that doing meticulous craftwork makes my hands worse.

You might look into Cetyl Myristoleate (which your physician will probably not have heard of since it is uncommon but medical studies are available if you look for them).

I'm 63 now and it was only about 6 months ago that I was 35! It's like someone jerked the hands of clock around on me,lol. I'm in pretty good health even though at my doctor visits they want me to do my 200,000 mile maintanance program or something. They keep suggesting all these tests and I said, I don't need that, but if I have any problems, I'll let you know. It's like they want me to settle into old man status and turn myself over to them until I die.
The only thing I need a doctor for is renewing my prescription. I've pretty much been epileptic since about 5 years old. And so that's a twice a year thing to get my liver check to make sure the meds arent affecting my liver.

But! Now I know who Jesus is, and He is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer. I have learned also that we have authority in Jesus name to speak to the mountain (Problem) ourselves! So I now approach my health from Jesus's point of view!
Jesus did not send them out to...go ye and pray to God for people's healing. No, He didn't say that. He said Go and cast out spirits, raise the dead, heal the sick. Jesus never prayed to God to heal someone and we dont have to either. He wants us to operate in the authority that He has given us.

From what I understand, there are two types of illness, one is brought on by age and living in a corrupted world, and then you have demonic oppression. The scripture has a story about what is widely regarded as, an Epileptic boy.
Nobody want to think they are possessed so I denied that possibility for a long time. I always heard that smoking weed helps epileptics and when I was younger I used that for justification to smoke pot recreationally. But around 35 I wanted to quit, it is a young man thing. SO I quit smoking it. 3 days later I had a seizure. First one in 18 years, I wasnt even on the meds anymore t was so ling, they said I grew out of it. SO I went to the hospital and got an EEG done and they put me back on meds...and I was convinced that stopping smoking weed triggered it. SO I started smoking weed again. I went for another 11 years without a seizure, and...I really wanted to quit smokung pot. Maybe that was a fluke before and it wasnt the weed? SO I quit smoking weed again. I was even still on anti-seizure meds so I figured it would be ok.
It was 4 days later that I had another seizure. Well, I guess it wasn't a fluke! So I smoke pot again, medicinally. At night under the covers all by myslef, lol. All I have to do is keep it in my system and I'm good.

But I am learning a new method of dealing with my health. The Jesus method. I speak directly to the problem and my flesh body. So I began treating my seizures as if it really is a spirit and I tried to cast it out. I didn't feel anything leave me so I suppose that this kind only goes out by prayer and fasting. So I'm working thru that right now. I have tried to name them all, spirit of infirmary, spirit of seizures, spirit of epilepsy and all that. And why not? That's what scripture says to do. That's what Jesus did and He said everything He has done we shall do and more.
Plus, scripture says that the power of life and death are in the tongue, so the spoken word is powerful. People talk to their plants and to their land and swear by it that it helps the plants. (I have a pretty good testimony of my own about that), but my point is, Jesus is our healer. He gave you the authority to speak to the mountain, so maybe you should try treating it like a spirit and cast out the spirit of Arthritis! It's worth a try.
Sorry it's so long, but a little backstory was necessary because I'm unknown here!

Sometimes God allows us to have afflictions because it can humble us, it can teach us valuable experiences, it can help us be empathetic toward others, we can grow in wisdom because of it and so many other reasons. God has not promised to heal us completely in these current bodies and we know that Paul himself had his own afflictions he had to deal with. Prayer can do us a world of good, but it's not guaranteed that God will spare us when He might be using us.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear other peoples' experiences.

Yes, I have arthritis in my knee and neck. Some days are better than others. I haven't found any medicine that really seems to make any difference or any gels. If my knee is hurting I just put a knee brace on it for support

Have you noticed if any foods aggravate it?

I know lifting weights sometimes has aggravated my neck pain. I have a bulging disc in my neck also besides arthritis.
