I have been sick all year, it showed up when I got an umbilical hernia, also developed sciatica down my left leg, the pain was it was like someone kicked you in the gut, and the sciatica was so bad I could barely walk at the end of the day, I went to the DR they said it's this and it's that, tried several medications some worked most di nothing except burn holes in my wallet, I struggled through to get to the off season and had the hernia operation done about a month ago, it was the whole issue and now I am on the mend and ready to ride skis this year.

There is good info here. I always feel great after a few days of eating healthy. I try to stay away from much fat fried foods and starches. My nemesis is Mountain Dew, allthough lately I've cut way back as the wife and I are going back to the gym 5 nights a week...........I'm exhausted! I've not been actually sick either besides a head cold here and there for probably 25 years. I did fight a round of food poisoning but still no doctor, there's nothing they can do about it.......it's awful.

WFO......I used to laugh at the older guys that would come in at the supply house I used to work at, complaining about sciatica. Man, that stuff is no joke!! I had it happen about 1 1/2 years ago. Rolled out of bed one morning and BANG....instant pain down one leg, enough to bring tears to your eyes. My calf balled up and half my fool was numb for about a week. I stretch regularly now and have not had any issues since.

They put me on an Arthritis medicine called meloxicam, it worked wonders for the sciatica, my back and even my carpal tunnel, it's some kind of anti-inflammatory medication.

My biggest concern now is I am in AFIB and taking lots of medications for that, the medications probably won;t work and most likely the will have to do a Cardioversion to get my heart back into rhythm .

My wife takes Meloxicam every now and then for shoulder pain, good stuff. Pretty sure it's bone spurs that need ground down but it only bothers her if she uses that arm a lot in one day.

....Now AFIB too??? Damn, you're falling apart bro LOL!!

I am an optimist at least everything so far is curable

They put me on a couple of different medications for SCIATICA, both got rid of the SCIATICA pain but there were side effects , both medications are also used to treat antidepression and they left my head in a fog , I didn't even feel it was safe to drive on those medications, one was AMITRIPTYLINE with the emphasis on TRIP, the other was DULOXETINE. You might give one of those a try , your results may vary.

No pills, big pharma is bad for your health I find hard work is the best medicine

For the first time since 2018 I came down with a flu of sorts right around last month on the 19th or so. It started as a sore throat only, that lasted about 4 days, then it went into the sinuses for about 4 days, then into the chest for a couple of days as a strong whooping cough and some yak up stuff. Then from the first to the fourth of this month all I wanted to do was sleep. I would have only enough life in me to stay awake for sometimes 15-20 minutes and back to sleep for 4 hours, or I could get about an hour and a half max then sleep again for 3-4 hours. It was this way all through a 3 or so day stretch. The chest congestion cleared up pretty much fully after about 2 weeks other than a cough which I'm still dealing with. I still get a random barking cough that I can't shake yet. I've been hearing it's a 6-8 week long coughing phase that others have experienced so I'm still looking at a couple more weeks minimum before it may show signs of clearing out. My voice went a little rough too but probably from the coughing. I picked this up from a couple of coworkers that decided to be stupid and come into work with it because they were bored with being stuck at home dealing with it. That brilliant little act caused my roommate to come down with it really badly resulting in him getting put on a steroidal puffer and liquid hydromorphone to deal with the chest pain from coughing so violently. He didn't have any symptoms for the first few days, went to work and now most guys at his work have it. I was livid with the two morons at work and told them I'll kick their a$$es through their throats if they ever do that again. I visited friends not knowing I was coming down with it and they're immune compromised. One recently went through cancer treatment and the other has COPD and severe athsma. Both are in their 80's. I said to the morons that what they did was out of pure selfishness and it could have killed my friends had they picked it up from me. Common sense and logical thinking isn't difficult to practice but nobody wants to practice it anymore.

Hard work is great , I have done it most of my life but hard work is not the answer when you are physically unable to do said work .

Woke up this morning with sore throat and stuffy nose.. So going to up the vitC to 3g a day, zinc to 60g a day along with b, d, and mag. But I think what helps most is taking a melatonin at 7pm and getting 8+ hours of sleep.
