After a terrible day 2 weeks ago and the contemplation of ending it I had a few hours sleep later that evening and even had some wood down stairs upon wakening The following day I had a few flashes of my old self, positivity and humour, this continued on and off for approx 10 days. I thought I was starting to turn the corner!!!Then the skin dryness increased along with anxiety both coming back with a vengeance! Followed by chronic insomnia, and now the irritability and feeling of hopelessness. I’ve taken turmeric on and off for Rheumatoid pain for years, I recently re added to my regime and wondering if this could have been the cause of the uplift bringing the false hope. Not sure exactly if the day I re introduced it! Any views on this guy’s or could it be coincidental and I may just be having a blip on the back of an upward climb. Time will tell I suppose.
Hey @LazarusRy,
Thanks for sharing. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence for the reasons I’ve discussed before in the post below. Underneath I have linked a study noting the 5ari effects of curcumin. This is something you’ll see mentioned over time across the forum by some cases.
Thanks for sharing axolotl, another false dawn in the quest for a normal or even bearable life. The hope continues
Always keep hope 
. Understanding these reactions is important, and it’d be great if you can take our survey next week so we can represent them with data.
I will, cheers mate
I had two recoveries around the time I was feeling slightly under the weather (from incubation period of very minor cold symptoms though about 1 day after minor cold symptoms ended).
First time I had very hard nocturnals / mornings for 3 out of 4 days and second time I had nocturnals / mornings for 2 out of 3.
I also had a much stronger desire to rub one off and watch porn although I didn’t jump out of bed horny like I used to.
Autoimmune stuff going on for sure.
I also had a similar recovery last summer after eating a ton of tofu one night.
I think eventually we’ll figure out how to tweak consumption of mild AA’s to deal with symptoms and maybe return ARs / immune response to baseline
Shall I stop the turmeric or try it on alternative days? What do you think! Cheers.
The question is if Turmeric is 5ARI then why you did not not feel any -ve or +ve effect years ago when you took it for Rheumatoid pain for years.
Do not touch it ever again
Never caused me problems previously, however just became wise to PFS in the last year
Hi again what about pregabalin community health prescribed it to me days ago but haven’t taken any yet due to the recent uplift from tumeric. I’m now in a crash and at my desperate stage again. Thanks again
