You might want to try an acid reducer first (tagamet), or a naproxen regime (2x daily with food). Hurry up and get a doctor old goon, they know best. Have you been formally diagnosed with osteoarthritis in your hands, or are you just assuming because they hurt?

i said they hurt and the doctor ran some tests and said "it's probably arthritis". no like x-rays or anything but he checked for elevated white blood cells and some other stuff i think. i don't remember really, it was a couple years ago thanks for the recs - i'll try naproxen. hopefully i can tolerate it

If your under like.. 50 I'd recommend trying to nail down why they hurt - especially if they ache bad enough to make it hard to concentrate, fall asleep, or do your work. Sometimes pain is a normal part of aging, and sometimes it isn't.

i was first diagnosed with osteoarthritis around age 24 iirc i used to take ibuprofen and naproxen but i had to switch to tylenol arthritis (doctor supervised) b/c nsaids give me instant diarrhea. doc tried me on other nsaids too including voltaren gels and oral diclofenac (ie voltaren but a pill) with enteric coating but i couldn't tolerate them any better than naproxen, which is too bad because naproxen was really good at stopping the pain. i 100% recommend nsaids if you can tolerate them though, they're so much better for you than tylenol.

Binary Badger posted:popping too many ibuprofens could wreck your kidneys this is true of any nsaid but the number one rule for nsaids is fluids if you’re drinking and you’re peeing it’s ok, don’t get dehydrated! drink fluid. maybe try water but if it’s wet it’s get also osteoarthritis? I know I’ve said it lots before but had surprising success with customers on hemp seed oil. many people have great things to say. maybe you will too

It takes a lot of willpower to follow a strict diet, maintain a set weight, comply with glucose monitoring. On top of whatever else you've got to deal with in life a lot of people just can't maintain that level of discipline over thrity+ years. Willpower is a limited resource.

On top of whatever else you've got to deal with in life a lot of people just can't maintain that level of discipline over thrity+ years. i’m aware of this for sure. but there’s definitely a difference between someone who mostly does a good job and someone who completely ignores all medical advice mind you i expect a nontrivial portion of the latter group probably would also benefit from therapy and since a huge part of the world seems to view that sort of thing as a personal failing, well.

mediaphage posted:you’re totally right on this. and for some it doesn’t matter. does your dad follow a proper regimen at all or does he like sneak cake in and pretend otherwise eh it’s also that diabetes is a complex disease and it’s difficult to maintain great control but not so hard to have OK control. he’s never been and never will be the kind of person to calculate his insulin based on carb content so he’ll forever have to take slightly less insulin because too much isn’t doable, and so there’s decades of that. and also people missing that blood glucose is a marker for diabetes and not the disease itself and even if your blood glucose stays good other poo poo goes on, and for example ice cream barely elevates blood sugars because of its huge fat content but obv it’s not good for you, but simplistic understandings of diabetes = high sugars leads people to treat the markers not the disease and it’s really unreasonable to expect laymen to really get how to properly treat complex metabolic syndromes luckily these days we have pharmacological treatments that help tons and are “easy” as in you could change nothing about your lifestyle and still be far better off simply by taking drug also other people just don’t give a gently caress. other people will offer a diabetic a sugar sandwich and be like “well they can say no if they want”, disregarding diabetes especially type 2 is probably associated with a hosed up relationship to food (like I have) and that i’m like a drug addict when it comes to my self control, never mind when other people try to get you to eat more even when you say no. other people truly value their own happiness at feeding someone than the persons health. makes me furious and makes me wish I was a person who stood up for myself because i’ll chow down on a cake someone made for me because I’m too nervous to say “sorry i’m a diabetic and I really shouldn’t” fml i’m on a new one that makes my kidneys spill over excess blood glucose into the urine so I pee out calories. was 4kg lighter than I expected last time I weighed myself. and it makes me piss more hence drink more hence more full from water all the time
