Sunshine, I personally don't like to mix too many herbs together as a 'concoction'. Because then I am not sure if 'the main item' is really working, and second, the various oils and chemicals in the herbs can sometimes be counteracted by each other. So I do certain things at certain times.

Yesterday was a weird day, all the joints in my body were aching for about 3-4 hours, not bad but I was wondering what was going on because i have never experienced that except when I was real sick last winter. This is what I think was happening, because it went straight away and I felt real good after and still feel fine, not achy at all today. I feel rather strong even, which is good. We are doing cloves, about a full teaspoon, every other day now, that's more than we usually take. So Friday was clove day, and later in the evening I took about a teaspoon of black walnut hull in water before bed. About an hour after eating the cloves I felt a really nice cool, kind pf pepperminty cool sensation throughout my body for a few minutes, it was pretty neat. So maybe the cloves are working. Then in the morning I took about a teaspoon and a half of walnut tincture again. That's a lot of black walnut within 24 hours. I had eggs and toast for breakfast an hour later, and ate some papaya with seeds and then some pineapple with that.

I started getting achy a couple hours later, joint achy, weird, shoulders knees, wrists, even some bones hurt just a tad. I think Sunshine that yesterday the black walnut hull was strong enough it got something, maybe a fungus, who knows, something in my joints and blood. Because a few hours later I felt just fine again, better even, because my shoulders had been a bit achy from using the chainsaw last week and that went away finally too. I used to able to use the chainsaw nonstop for 4-5 days before getting achy prior to the mercury poisoning incident. Now it seems I get achy after just a few hours. But really, I think it's not my muscles as much as some little bug I may have picked up from being sick. I did take a bunch of vitamins/minerals later in the day too.

If I had consistent shoulder aches/muscle aches, I would take first off some calcium and magnesium, and I would also take feverfew.

I would not take too much vitamin C that day. Vitamin C can actually increase muscle aches/headaches. A hormone that your body makes, prostaglandin, can actually increase body aches and inflammation. Vitamin C helps your body increase production of that hormone. Feverfew works to help your body regulate, or decrease production of that hormone, prostaglandin. So using both together may not be beneficial. Not harmful, but you may not get the desired results.

My daughter gets wicked awful menstrual cramps from time to time. Last time was the worst. I had her doing some mega C because she was sniffly, had a cough, earlier in the month. Sure enough, massive cramps. I brought her home from school crying. But, she got relief within 2 hours by taking a low dose of magnesium and calcium, and a few leaves of feverfew and was smiling again. 2 hours.

We do grow our own feverfew, it's a main item I use all the time. It's real strong fresh, we eat the leaves. If I were using store bought capsules, I would take double or triple the recommended dose, just once or twice within several hours the same day. If that does not help your muscle aches, then that formula will not work for you and it probably is parasitic, bad parasitic. But I would still try at least once, calcium and magnesium, and feverfew. If I got no response with that, I would then try goldenseal if I didn't reach for my newest favorite, the black walnut hull. I might use those two together. The black walnut hull tincture first, the goldenseal root extract a couple hours later. But I realize you want to wait to do parasite tending.

the feverfew is also a bit of a blood thinner btw, so don't use it in conjunction with any prescription blood thinners.

I have no experience with low blood sugar but if I stumble again upon herbs that treat that i will let you know. Sunflowers book looks like a good recommendation. I know artichokes are good for helping your body make insulin, or else they contain it.
