Have you soaked that hand in epsom salts?
If the SAMe is making you anxious, you may not need it.
Side effects are more common in people who already have enough SAM being made in their bodies.
I am also wondering about that finger...
Is this what you have?

Have you seen a hand specialist at all? |
I am having some flare up of my osteoarthritis in my fingers. Some knuckles are tender, swelling and of course painful. I put salonpas in my fingers. It helps. (Salonpas is getting expensive too!)
Mrs.D, I started taking SAM-e again since 2 months ago. I dont notice anything with my osteoarthritis but i think it helps my mood. My health conditions have started giving me so much fears and anxieties. With continuous use of Sam-e, the feelings of being scared and anxiousness have lessened. I still have some and how I wish I could overcome these feelings completely. I take 400mg a day.
Thank you.
Mary
