I have end stage osteoarthritis in both shoulders at 52. I had to stop lifting weights for upper body. Psychologically this was tough. And I became generally less active, more like a couch potato. I have limited ROM. Struggle to wash under my arms, the top of my head. Struggle to put on a shirt or jacket. Can not reach into a shelf above shoulder height. Yet. Minimum pain or I got used it. Ongoing discomfort, but manageable. I have learnt to cope. And take this in my stride.

I have chronic pancreatitis. This resulted in only runny stools. Exhaustion. Stabbing pain in my side. Loss of appetite. I cleaned up my diet, took natural supplements, including RSO. And I notice pancreas seldom. Unless I eat junk food or sugar then I suffer from pain in my side and explosive runny stool.

The biggest challenge has been my mind. This is something I have struggled with all my life since a very young kid. Mood swings. Anywhere from elevation to aggression. Very extreme. I was hoping the RSO would manage that but it has not been as helpful here as I had hoped. I only take it at night otherwise I am too sluggish in the day. Three to four drops at night. None in the day. Again I find diet and lifestyle to play a pivotal role. The mood disorder has had a devastating effect on me. But worse on my wife, two pups and two kitties. Nothing physical. But I become loud and I have been told I exude negativity and “poison”. I started detox, but backed off. I am now restarting.
