Re: Psoriasis & Psoriatic arthritis
 

Didn't know of this psoriatic arthritis illness before this thread
Was wondering why OP put it with psoriasis

I have pains in my feet a few times a year
I know I have gout But sometimes it's other parts of my feet
which I take NSAIDs (ibroprofen or diclofenac)
Now I wonder if it's psoriatic arthritis

Not suffering myself, but as an interested foodie, just how much are you taking in? Could your cubes possibly be turned into a regular curry cooked from fresh ingredients, or does the shop suspect you're the sole supplier of turmeric and ginger to a local curry house?

Because the two are often found together.

Unlikely if you don't have the psoriatic lesions but they can take a few years to manifest after the onset of the arthritic symptoms.

Actually going to get my usual sack of turmeric from The Spice Store in Tunbridge Wells this afternoon. I get some funny looks from the other customers but nothing like the looks I get when I occasionally empty the shelf of ginger root in a Waitrose :D
You can indeed use the cubes as curry ingredients. I have used the ginger like that often but not the turmeric as it would probably be too much! :sick:

Apparently a side affect is that you will soon be able to understand the VM call centre staff :D
