@gemalaya Thanks for this, saved. I hadn't thought about drinking it before, but it makes sense. I've used ground turmeric for toothaches before with some success, just a little cheesecloth (or w/e) pouch of the stuff kept between the lip and gums. 😁 What a fantastic spice!

@Addison It truly is a wonder spice, yeah works great for pain, and it has another wonderful quality for people who use opiates: it attenuates opioid tolerance and dependence. So if you're using opiates for pain and it doesn't do much for you anymore without raising the dosage (which is bad), taking turmeric will not only work as a pain reliever but also helps you to wean you off opiates and limit withdrawl symptoms. Also you can heal wounds by just putting turmeric powder on them (for pets as well).
Brainfogged... — The last week or or two had been hard... I feel like someone had hit me in the head with a shovel, sans the pain. But I never get headaches, and no exception here. No pain, but a kind of dizziness, and weird visuals - feels like slightly out of focus but not really... Most importantly, my brain is not functioning at capacity. It took me a while to remember the word 'brainfog' when I sat down, and I had to get up and dick around for a while... I've been using my brain daily...
