I'd greatly appreciate a miraculous panacea for my rheumatoid arthritis, especially one available at turmeric's price point. I've gone through a gamut of biologics that my immune system builds resistance against. Rinvoq's doing pretty good at taking the edge off currently, but I still flare up if triggered. It's also running a $6,000 wholesale a month... thank [deity] for insurance and copay assistance.
Delicious food is great, but alleviating my pain and fatigue during an RA flare? Manna from heaven.
