And this led me to the idea of natural steroids.

I happened to have some Ayurvedic natural plant steroid on hand known as Guggul or Gugglesterone (see the "steroid" in the end of the name?) I took about double what was suggested on the bottle from an Indian grocery store. I felt better 20 minutes after I took the first dose the following day. I tried taking it, then not taking it on alternate days. I had to keep taking it every day for a couple of months. I don't take them any longer and I feel fine, again.

tl;dr guggulsterone every day for 8 weeks at double recommended dose on bottle.
