Please look at my response to Tankstir...if you combine astragalus with your ashwaganda you will find two of the best adaptogen herbs available...it definitely sounds like you need to address inflammation...also make sure your vitamin d levels are about 60 ng/mL and take vitamin k with that...
Do you have any suggestions on dosage? I'm currently using Actemra injection weekly but side effects are cholesterol levels off the charts - I have to stop it for next two months bc I'm having another spinal fusion in Aug and Ortho wants me off completely so I heal .....so if I can find a good alternative I will stop it and the Prednisone completely . Late to the adaptogen info but trying get informed
I'm on prescription vitamin D but I'll need to get the vitamin K. My inflammation is regulated now but it was severe then. I'd like to get off the prescription tho - it causes my cholesterol to skyrocket lol
Thank you
The prescription vitamin D usually gives you 50,000 IU once a week so you can just as easily buy your own...I take 10,000 IU's a day and maintain my d level at about 60ng/ml...it is important to know where you are at...I use Super K from Life Extension and I am very pleased with that also...72 and no osteoporosis or other issues so it is all good...also the high levels of d help tremendously with arthritis...I am glad you are getting better....
