@Tfmonkey Pardon my inquiry, I'm sure you might have researched this; I understand a "mega dose" of potassium does abate rheumatoid arthritis. Also, in addition to your hot showers try an Epsom Salt soak/bath, in the same hot water. I found this worked weekly when I used to do endurance and heavy weight training.
Hope.this helps.
@sardonicsmile a mega dose of potassium also stops your heart. It's literally what a lethal injection shot is made of.
@Tfmonkey Perhaps I overstated. Get potassium up to ~6,000 mg.
Many dietary supplement manufacturers and distributors limit the amount of potassium in their products to 99 mg (which is only about 2% of the DV) because of two concerns related to potassium-containing drugs. First, FDA has ruled that some oral drug products that contain potassium chloride and provide more than 99 mg potassium are not safe because they have been associated with small-bowel lesions

Unsweetened soy milk has potassium & low carb
Using potassium Chloride powder is easier to get potassium from then 50 potassium pills at 2% of the daily value each, because it is easier to just put more powder into a drink mix then to consume more pills when each pill is usually limited to 2% of the daily value
But I am not suggesting the use of potassium supplements as they can be dangerous and most people can safely get enough potassium from food
This is not medical advice
@apopheniac @sardonicsmile @Tfmonkey
My guess is the primary cause is most likely mechanical use of electronic devices & not nutrition alone but I am not giving a medical diagnosis
1 because I have not met them
2 because I am not legally allowed to
However my explanation about potassium is just information if someone chooses to use potassium as another person suggested
Supplements usually are limited to 2% RDA per serving & food is safer
Powder can bipass the limit but might not be safe
