Wow, thank you so much for this insightful post! I forgot to mention I am currently taking Vitex and it's helped my PMS significantly. I was doing progesterone for a while but it became too tedious with RA hands.

Honestly, I keep my PUFA very low, I have also been told it can take up to 4+ years to get rid of in the tissues. I eat all home-cooked meals, even if I have some PUFA it's less than 3-4g. How do you know what does of Niacinamide works for you? Currently, I'm at 500mg and feel good, mostly getting sugar from fruit or honey.

I really like that explanation of CRP, makes complete sense.

Yes, I've been thinking of seeing one but it's a hit or miss of course. So with the appropriate amount of thyroid, you were able to put the disease into remission?

Thank you for all the reading! I'll be reading it all. I've also come across SIBO being treated with high-dose thiamene, up to 600mg.

I found this extreamly helpful! Thank you for responding

Guys, I have horrible RA. It's literally taken over my entire body. I've been "peating" for some time now. I'm just not seeing benefits. Here's the scoop:
I do have high prolactin so obviously need more calcium.
High CRP
My TSH is always floating between 2.5-3 because when ever I take more than 12.5 mcg of cynomel I get excitation in the gut and it takes a while to calm down. When I did do higher doses before I noticed this gut issue, I was feeling better as were my joints. Rheumatologist thinks I'm insane for taking t3.
I've done the carrot salads, charcoal, gelatin, collagen, progesterone, pregnenolone, high dose K2, even lots of salt.
I had SIBO and by using bitters, salt and taurine regularly it seems to have calmed down.
There was a point when I was taking Minocycline (check the RoadBack website) and it was working better than conventional drugs but good luck getting a Dr. to prescribe that long term ( I'm not in the US, sadly).
Currently trying to do high dose Niacinamide. See if that does anything.
I guess I'm just bummed out because I know of a few people who have been able to get rid of this by following Peats recommendations.
Any words of wisdom? Am I just doing it all wrong?
