I've used Ted's borax remedy to keep my arthritis in remission for 18 years now. Here is an EC link describing its use :
https://www.earthclinic.com/borax-remedy-for-arthritis.html
Allow enough time for the borax to start working. Two months is a reasonable test period in which I saw benefit, but this seems to vary considerably on an individual basis as some EC members have just started to see benefit in the first two weeks, but that is the exception, not the rule. So a two month trial is a fair test.
You can also consider melatonin lotion (ML) applied sparingly to the painful areas as melatonin has shown some healing properties as relates to certain forms of arthritis and certain spinal injuries and it may offer some pain relief. I describe how to make melatonin lotion here :

Hi, I have been bearing spine arthritis pain since last 6 years now. My neck and back gives me crazy pain, the whole day. Have tried physio, chiro and every treatment possible, not much relief. Currently taking amgevita, no sign of relief also. What should I do? Should I take boron and borax separately or only borax and in how much quantity?

I have tried all forms of Mg over the years. I have the most success with high-dose Magnesium oxide. I used to shun oxide because it did nothing for me, but then I found that it is very effective if taken at the correct dose. For me, that is 800 to as much as 1200mg/day. I customize the dose by buying 200mg capsules. I take one with breakfast and 3 with dinner. If I notice slight constipation, I'll increase the dose until I'm going easily again. I'll also have a little Calm drink mix at night occasionally, as needed. Mg oxide effectively pulls fluid into the intestines and is harder to overdose on because it's not systemically absorbed very well.

Some more information would be helpful. How old are you? Have you had any children? Do you have any other health conditions?
Meanwhile, look in to PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for ovarian rejuvenation. They would uses your own platelets. It isn't exactly natural, but it also isn't using chemicals. I used PRP for my severe TMJ issues and it helped me so much.

Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15080351/ Jan-Feb 2004 (used Povidone-Iodine)
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot project was to determine the effect of a 10% povidone-iodine solution on plaque Streptococcus mutans and on incidence of new caries in young children following dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia.
Methods: Twenty-five children ages 2 to 7 years, scheduled for dental treatment under general anesthesia, were enrolled. Children in the experimental group (N = 13) had povidone-iodine applied 3 times at 2-month intervals. Control children (N = 12) had no treatment. Plaque samples were taken from all children at baseline, 6 months and cultured for total bacteria and S mutans. Dental examinations were conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year.
Results: Experimental and control children had similar dietary habits, caries experience, and S mutans levels at baseline. All children's S mutans counts decreased significantly at 6 months (P = .003). The difference between the 2 groups was not significant (P = .58). At 1 year, 5 of 8 children in the control group had new caries compared to 2 of 11 children in the experimental group (P = .06). Povidone-iodine was well accepted by participating families.
Conclusions: Extensive one-time restorative dental treatment resulted in a significant suppression S mutans levels at 6 months. Further exploration of the role of povidone-iodine in caries management is indicated.
Suppression of Streptococcus mutans in the Mouths of Humans by a Dental Prophylaxis and Topically applied Iodine May 1979 (used Iodine Tincture)
Abstract
A prophylaxis followed by three topical applications of an iodine-potassium iodide solution significantly reduced the levels of Streptococcus mutans in fissure and approximal plaques and in saliva. Reductions persisted 20--24 weeks after treatment in salivary and approximal samples. A prophylaxis alone exerted a small and temporary reduction of S. mutans in occlusal fissure plaque, but did not reduce the levels of this organism in approximal plaque or in saliva. A significant relationship existed between the levels of S. mutans in saliva and the proportions of this organism in plaque. The dorsum of the tongue does not appear to constitute a significant reservoir for S. mutans following disinfecting procedures.
Treatment
Iodine application-Immediately following the prophylaxis, the teeth of individuals to be treated with iodine were rinsed with water and dried. One-half of the dentition was isolated with cotton rolls, and an aqueous solution containing 2.0% I2 and 2.0 KI (W/V) in 53% glycerin was applied to all approximal surfaces using a blunt-tipped syringe to facilitate distribution of the iodine solution. Iodine solution was applied to the remaining tooth surfaces using saturated cotton swabs. Fresh solution was continuously applied to the teeth for a total treatment period of 4-5 minutes. The cotton rolls were then removed, the teeth rinsed with water, and the opposite side of the mouth treated in a similar manner. A total of 2-3ml of iodine solution was used for each treatment. The treated individuals received two additional iodine applications without the prophylaxis 3 and 5 days later.
Results and Discussion
The data obtained indicate that a thorough dental prophylaxis followed by 3 applications of iodine solution caused a significant and long-lasting reduction in the S. mutans populations recoverable from dental plaques and saliva of young adults. S. mutans could not be detected in any samples of plaque shortly after the iodine applications, but the organism was isolated from occlusal plaques one week later. However, its proportions in occlusal plaques remained significantly below original levels for 4-6 weeks following treatment. It is not known whether the re-appearance of S. mutans in these sites represented an outgrowth of a small number of viable organisms which escaped the iodine solution, or whether these sites had become re-colonized by S. mutans cells present in saliva. The latter possibility was suggested by the findings of Svanberg and Loesche.20 They showed that initially sterile artificial fissures placed in the mouths of humans often became infected with S. mutans, provided that the salivary concentrations of this organism were 103 per ml or higher. Levels of 103 cfu of S. mutans per ml of saliva were, in fact, present in all subjects studied a few weeks after the iodine applications (Table 4a).
The most notable and perhaps most clinically significant finding of the present study was the marked and persistent reduction in the S. mutans populations present in plaques on approximal tooth surfaces.
The proportions of S. mutans recovered from these sites remained significantly lower than pre-treatment values for up to 24 weeks following iodine application. These findings are in agreement with those of a previous study concerning the effect of topically-applied and they contrast with effects observed following application of fluoride solutions and vancomycin preparations. These agents exerted a greater effect on the S. mutans populations in fissures than those on approximal surfaces. This effect has been attributed to the fissures retaining the antibacterial agents for a longer period of time (in otherwords contact time), which increased exposure of the resident micro-flora.4 Collectively, these observations suggest that preparations containing iodine and another antibacterial agent, such as fluoride, might produce additive or even synergistic effects upon the S. mutans populations on teeth.

Take 1oz. Colloidal Silver 10ppm into 2oz. water 3x/daily til symptoms improve.
Also, I would bathe in Borax 20 Mules daily. It's OK to add 2-Qt Hydrogen Peroxide 3% Brown bottle to the bath water. This will help to destroy the virus on the skin.
I've also seen people bath in apple cider vinegar. 2 cups in bath water and soak for 25 minutes. Repeat daily.

I have found the supplement Apigenin useful for me to extend sleep time. I usually take 100 mg around bedtime or a little earlier. Here is a link to a typical product :
Read the reviews to get a better idea of how different people react to it. It doesn't work for everyone, but seems to work for the majority of people. I take fairly high dose melatonin every night for years now as well as magnesium glycinate with the apigenin and the three help me with sleep. Friends have also mentioned similar sleep benefit.
