Gluten free and MSM have done absolute wonders. And if I need painkillers, I take white willow and devil's claw; together they need a lower dose.
Pharma tweaks the molecules to get them patented, so often the natural alternative (white willow was the first aspirin) will dodge the side effects.
I am fortunate I found things that worked; and they were outnumbered by what I tried that didn't work.

Tylenol has also not worked for me in the past. Aspirin does, and has been my painkiller of choice when I need something, but I have been avoiding that too over the last year or so. Luckily I don't often have pain to the point of needing medication. Do you get willow bark & devil's claw already combined, or do you get them as 2 separate preparations?
