What's helped is definitely nerve pain relief cream called Hemp by Hempvana, antibacterial topicals, A and D ointment, and of course doing warm compresses.

For exercising doing low impact not only will reduce sweat, but will also help reduce friction, depending how your body is feeling. Drink plenty of purified water to not only stay hydrated, but to help with flares.

Try doing breathing exercises, and listening to calm instrumental soothing music which will help you to stay calm and relaxed.

And lastly, try to include more fruits vegetables, along with grains. And limited yourself on processed foods

I hope this helps, have a great day!

Well I hope they can get your iron sorted out! I think as we age, our organs just don't bounce back the same as when we are young! That's awesome you lost 30 lbs. Yes I remember you are cool in the winter. That's a good time to exercise, you won't get all sweaty.

@A myHSteam Member. Yes, I’m taking steps to see if I can have blood removed and monitored.I just had biopsy only last Wednesday. So it’s a slow process going g through the diagnosis process. Had genetic testing, too and might need more genetic testing. Lots of things cause iron overload. Is suspect in reality it is my diabetes that I’d it take meds for. My diabetes has gotten really weird. It used to run 145 and even 160 fasting if I pigged out on a bunch of sweets or carbs. Now since .i lost 30 pounds and got rid of liver scars my fasting blood sugar even when I’ve eaten a bag of chocolate is t over 126 max and most of the time e is 106 or something like that. But my symptoms are worse. After I ate chocolate 3 nights in a row and some Coke Zero my kidneys swelled with fluid and hurt like hell all night long each night. So mistakes hurt me way worse than they used to. I’m not gonna get my fasting sugar below 100’s and down to 90 until I lose more weight and put on more muscle. It’s a lot of hard work and discouraging and my environment t is not conducive to being consistent. I have an old house that is very cold so sometimes I don’t have a lot to work with to comfortably exercise. I just won’t do it when it’s very cold.

Wow, that's crazy, you have said before the food choices are limited there....can you move??? I have a friend with hemochromatosis and he has to go to the hosp to get bled a few times every year! Maybe you need that to get rid of iron!
