Nerve conduction study years ago revealed moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Years later, per an ultrasound, my past carpal tunnel had already resolved, but I still had dramatic pain at base of thumb while typing. At that point, ultrasound revealed  mild arthritis.

Dramatically improved by:

Neuromodulation

?

I used this once — it was okay, mild benefit to sleep. Curious how you would feel.

Neurofeedback?

I looked up some of the lit on this, seems advantageous. Can be kind of expensive though

Jacob did 10 sessions, about 20 is what it usually takes to do theta on demand

https://exsurgo.com/about/

exsurgo.com

found this on google ads but seems a bit expensive — what’s the research on it?

Muse headband

Only does alpha, not theta

Jacob has never had problems with alpha to begin with

Supplementation

Low Dose Naltrexone

Super safe, lots of good evidence in medical lit

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3962576/

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Can get a prescription from any functional medicine doctor or order it online

This seems quite cheap ?

70 usd for prescrip

ldndirect.com

The subreddit on LDN is a good guide

Oxytocin

Not sure abt safety here

Maybe exists intranasal options like for insulin?

Gene therapy ? Per machiavelli

Electrolytes?

Curious if magnesium or sodium intake ever made a difference

Magnesium citrate 600mg

Try the extremely absorbable forms possible?

Citrate is a laxative

Magnesium glycinate, malate

Avoid oxide, chloride, carbonate (unless its transdermal), because their bioavailability is really low.

Elemental — do they sell that

Jacob tried keto for a month and got cramps when he didn’t supplement electrolytes

Dietary stuff

Curious what things if any have made a difference

Keto made no difference in symptoms — felt good meditatively

I like fasting for meditative purposes (eg. 4 or 3 day)

I stop spilling out my energy when I fast

Palmitoylethanolamide..

The fatty acid that nootropicsdepot sells

They also sell some other chronic pain stuff but its not that strong IME

HRT?

Too risky?

Research directions

Just searching through /r/nootropics can probably be useful

Same goes for longecity

Make list of all symptoms ? When they started.

Ruptured ligaments

First one ruptured during undergrad

One really ruptured ligament, one stretched out, one that is mildly ruptured, another that is mildly ruptured.

Things that have made a difference

PRP mild benefits

Doing pilates, strengthening exercises?

Note: almost everybody could benefit from an overall vitality increase from a chronic pain prescription or MINDBODY approach.

If I did more physical therapy or stabilization it would be powerful

RSI pain seperate

Started in HS

Things that have made a difference

PRP massive change

Trigger point for RSI

Everything you have tried.

Phototherapy

Ever tried LLLT?

Cold laser therapy

JOOV infrared

They have a few competitors that are cheaper, and just as strong in terms of the amount of light emitted

I have a couple of friends who have companies that do this and I can ask them for a red light

DNRS

Interesting
