Yes ,>I did notice a real difference when I stopped taking it because I had a lot more pain , I have severe psoriatic arthritis and mixed connective tissue disease and bone damage from arthritis as well as degeneration of spine and clusters of bone spurs all the way down my spine , stenosis and scoliosis , Anyway I am on other regular meds but I do now the tumeric definitle works and works better if you take the kind with the pepper so it is absorbed better , Yes it does help with digestion also . It may take a couple of weeks to notic e a difference but be patient.

@twinkies,

I also have a connective tissue disease, scleroderma. The turmeric has helped me manage my pain and inflammation. I could not go without it. I do not take anything else as far as pain meds and I hope I will never have to. Sounds like you have a lot of pain. I hope you find relief.

I took Turmeric for a month because of recommendations on this board.  I don't remember the dosage, but I took exactly what was recommended.  I couldn't tell any difference at all in my osteoarthritis pain.

I generally take most posts with a grain of salt myself but I've also researched turmeric on other sites and it seems to help many people.

I purchased a bottle of 60 of those horse-sized capsules.   Only 57 days to go!

I'm sorry it didn't work for you.

Just started taking Turmeric a couple of weeks ago, mainly to see if it helps my generalized osterarthritis..I am a year out from my TKR, & take tramadol twice a day routinely..the last couple of days, I have completely forgotten to take my evening dose (tramadol) AND my operative knee is definitely working better, less stiffness & localized pain..also am noticing I am have much less GI "gurgling" after I eat...so, am hoping this will continue..I have not read many reasons ( actually one, they say to use caution with blood thinners..I assume being on Heparin or warfarin) not to take it & my PCP oks my taking it..

anyone else with improvement while taking it?

@Evie2004  Lessman makes Digest Assure, and if you take this as directed, you may eliminate the gurgling.  I used to get heartburn if I ate butter, etc., now I don't any longer.  I have been taking Curcumin for ten years, as an antiinflammatory.

Thank you !I am on medicatio as well and it all seems to help . Sometimes you have to use your own judgement as far as supplements go , But Tumeric is a common spice used in food so its really pretty safe

As far as tumeric goes just be careful if you are onn a blood thinner as larger doses of tumeric should not be taken with blood thinners such as wasrfarin or plavix. Just take what the normal dosage is on the bottle ,

@Evie2004, can you tell me what you are taking? I shied away from it because I'm on Pradaxa, and when I researched this, I couldn't find any answers. Others on this generation of anti-coagulants couldn't find answers either.

I'm not wild about the flavor, so curry and putting it in smoothies just doesn't cut it for me.

I didn't read this entire thread, but I am now willing to try.

Thanks,

This page may help. You can reference it. Turmeric interacts with blood thinning medications. (Pradaxa is a blood thinning medication)

I may consider Andrew Lessman's turmeric ... it is explained on his Procaps site. Somehow it is processed so that it is protected from digestive enzymes. Sounds right to me.
