Hi Dr Jockers.
I write to you from Australia.
I have been diagnosed with erosive osteoarthritis about 6 years ago. I am 56 yo
Over the years I tried an array of natural products as i was always anti prescribed medication but as this is a progressive disease I was unsure what or if any of it was working and as I wasn’t very financial I stopped taking everything.
Over the years I begrudgingly saw a couple of different rheumatologists and have tried the plaquinel, ararva & methotrexate and injected myself with simponi for 6 months but it didn’t help. I have been issued a prescription for Himura about 2 months ago but chose not to fill the script as I came across a study that was done on 40 people with the same disease and the verdict was it didn’t improve their condition.
I have been taking no medication including natural for quite a while now as I’m feeling disillusioned.
I’m reaching out to you for your advice as every finger on both hands are now swollen and deformed and I have minimal flexibility other than my two thumbs which at this stage have not been affected.

I now understand that the lack of zinc can be one cause of chronic inflammation that results in different autoimmune diseases. I would understand how specific types of food that have anti-inflammatory properties can really be helpful in improving different health conditions. I hope there are meal preparation services out there that take this into consideration.

Dear Dr. Jockers,
I have been diagnosed with lupus ( both skin and SLE), fibromyalgia and sjogrens about 7 years ago. I went into a remission like state for two years that I contribute to diet, lifestyle change, but since pandemic, all have come back with a vengeance. I do not want to be on hard core drugs as RA doctor suggests. I have been taking prednisone way too long and got down to 1mg/day trying to wean off until I had major flare when pandemic hit. Now on 5mg prednisone twice a day but still getting flares with burning skin pain, inflammation, osteoarthritis in hands, blurred vision and ringing in ears. I want to get off the steroids and try natural supplements. Do you have any suggestions, and do you know of a functional doctor in my area around Chattanooga , TN. or how to find one close. I am using vitamin supplements vitamin C 2000, vitamin D3, zinc and fish oil. Since I cannot get in the sun from skin lupus, I don’t get enough vitamin D. I appreciate your guidance on a natural supplement that could help me, especially with the inflammation. Thank you so much and I love your articles. I just ordered MICELLE LIPOSOMAL D3 WITH K2. Recently in the hospital with assessed ulcer, I’m sure is from long years of prednisone. I would appreciate any advise that may help me. God bless you.

In reply to Lynette. Yes this is most likely the case for certain types of narcolepsy.

Hi Dr Jockers, what is your opinion of the theory that narcolepsy could be an autoimmune disease? Do you think any of these supplements could help reduce the symptoms of narcolepsy? Thank you.
