Here&rsquo;s What Happened"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b><i>Please note<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: What follows is a personal narrative of the writer\u2019s experience taking collagen. No statements have been evaluated by a doctor, and while you can trust that the anecdotes are true, this is not meant to supplant medical advice. If you have CRPS or another autoimmune disease, collagen may be right for you\u2014but be sure to speak with your doctor first. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I flipped over the handlebars in very rural India, the world didn\u2019t slow down. There wasn\u2019t a pause in the time-space continuum, portending the massive impact this singular moment would have on my life. My husband ran over to lift my pant leg and confirm\u2014his face grim and nearly green\u2014that yes, there was no doubt I\u2019d badly broken my right leg. I took an agonizing rickshaw ride to the first clinic, where they confirmed they would not be able to do the necessary operation, and then another excruciating 12-hour cab ride to a hospital in Bangalore. By the time I had surgery, it had been 24 hours since the accident. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I healed\u2014in India\u2014and trekked through the Shan Mountains of Myanmar six months later. My leg, however, was never the same. It occasionally would become inflamed, for no apparent reason, or bruised in weird places. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After too many doctors visits to count, two years later, I was finally diagnosed with Type 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/Disorders\/Patient-Caregiver-Education\/Fact-Sheets\/Complex-Regional-Pain-Syndrome-Fact-Sheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Complex Regional Pain Syndrome<\/a> (CRPS). The condition is progressive and incurable. It wouldn\u2019t be a huge problem in my life providing I didn\u2019t injure my other leg (the condition often spreads to mirrored limbs). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then another accident occurred. Last summer, someone fell into me on a dancefloor, tearing all four ligaments in my left knee. I had ACL and meniscus reconstruction last November\u2014about the same time my left leg began to exhibit CRPS symptoms. Doctors loaded me up with prescriptions meant to numb my nerves (Gabapentin), and pills intended to dull the pain (Oxy). I never filled the oxy prescription, and I flushed the Gabapentin after experiencing a burning sensation in my feet. The emotional effects of chronic pain are real. I was a mess. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March, at <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/festivals\/oahu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wanderlust O\u2019ahu<\/a>, someone handed me a sample packet of Vital Proteins collagen powder. As significant of an impact that those tiny moments of my motorcycle accident had on my life, this singular moment became second. I thought, \u00ab\u00a0Hey, what could I lose from regularly taking collagen?\u00a0\u00bb So I gave it a shot\u2014and thus honestly, truly, though clich\u00e9 as it may sound, changed my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What follows is an informal diary of what happened when I began taking collagen regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_104746\" class=\"thumbnail aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-104746\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/india-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/india-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/india.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">The author in India, recovering from the first accident.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Month 1: Shinier Skin<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After returning from Hawaii, I bought a large container of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalproteins.com\/collections\/all-products\/products\/collagen-peptides?gclid=CjwKCAjw2MTbBRASEiwAdYIpsdIT5vW3y9SNM1vPJ5YvpN-EXYqTgnvhTQROuULoEmvCyKdT0CnFShoCdlIQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Collagen Peptides powder<\/a> and began experimenting. I mostly put it in smoothies\u2014one scoopful every morning. The first thing I noticed was my skin. I\u2019m 34 years old, and certainly starting to see the lines of happy living around the corners of my eyes and across my forehead. I have oily skin, and haven\u2019t ever been too concerned with my skin aging; though when I started taking collagen everyday, I began to notice a difference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My eyes were less dark underneath (despite a demanding job and New York City living), and my husband commented (more than once!) on a certain new sheen to my cheeks. I thought I started to feel better in my legs, but CRPS isn\u2019t constant, so it was difficult to tell. I\u2019m also a bit of a skeptic, so didn\u2019t want to get ahead of myself. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Month 2: Symptoms Fade<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the symptoms I get often with CRPS is the pooling of synovial fluid near a nail mark on my right knee. I\u2019m not a doctor\u2014and, to be honest, most of my doctors admit that these kinds of autoimmune diseases are still largely mysterious to the medical community\u2014but the way I understand it, simply, is that my brain thinks there\u2019s something wrong with my knee. When I get stressed or overwork my leg, it tries to fix it, resulting in an increase of synovial fluid that then leaks out through that nail scar in my leg <em>(gross, I know\u2026).<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relationship between collagen and synovial fluid is most often understood when examining arthritic patients: When there\u2019s not enough collagen in the knee, there\u2019s sometimes an imbalance of synovial fluid, making it difficult and painful to walk. When I started taking collagen regularly, that lump (again, presumably of synovial fluid), began to decrease. This could be coincidental, but I noticed it in the fifth week of my three-month experiment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not exactly that the pain symptoms of my CRPS were disappearing\u2014but I certainly noticed it less. My right knee felt stronger than it had in years. It was in the second month of taking collagen that I did my first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogajournal.com\/poses\/camel-pose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Camel Pose<\/a> in six years; and didn\u2019t want to vomit from the pain of putting weight on my right knee. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Month 3: Strengthening of Ligaments After Surgery<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the summer started and I approached the year anniversary of tearing my ACL, meniscus, PCL, and MCL, I vowed that come Labor Day I\u2019d have my left leg back in action as well. This surgery is, to be transparent, no joke. I spent six months in <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/6-ways-make-aireal-yoga-physical-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">physical therapy<\/a> to rehabilitate, and while my range of motion was registering normally, my left knee was still significantly achy and sore. By the third month of regularly taking collagen, this was starting to change. I took note of greater mobility in not just my knee joint, but my leg as a whole. My hamstring began to feel more stretchable without feeling pulled, and one day, I realized it\u2019d been several weeks since I\u2019d felt acute pain shooting through the back of my knee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a yoga teacher, and so am pretty tuned into what\u2019s happening in my body. It\u2019s not as if the pain is entirely vanished from my left leg, but it\u2019s certainly different than it was when I started my collagen journey back in March. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bottom line? I\u2019m not a doctor, a beautician, or a physical therapist. But I personally experienced healing and symptom relief when I started a regular collagen regimen that I didn\u2019t from years of prescription medication. Even if all CRPS symptoms disappear completely, what\u2019s not to love about beautiful skin? I\u2019m now a devout collagen believer\u2014and you\u2019ll never find my pantry devoid of a jar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalproteins.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vital Proteins<\/a> from here on out.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The writer, diagnosed with CRPS several years ago, takes collagen for three months and finds symptom relief. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2881,"featured_media":104748,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3189],"tags":[3262,3330,3332,3333,3331,3187],"class_list":["post-104743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reach","tag-collagen","tag-crps","tag-holistic","tag-natural-healing","tag-pain-relief","tag-partner"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.0 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wanderlust<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/i-tried-collagen-for-3-months-heres-what-happened\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The writer, diagnosed with CRPS several years ago, takes collagen for three months and finds symptom relief.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/i-tried-collagen-for-3-months-heres-what-happened\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Wanderlust\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/wanderlust\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-03-13T17:33:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-01-14T18:19:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/issara-willenskomer.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1404\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"796\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lisette Cheresson\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lisette Cheresson\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wanderlust.com\\\/journal\\\/i-tried-collagen-for-3-months-heres-what-happened\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wanderlust.com\\\/journal\\\/i-tried-collagen-for-3-months-heres-what-happened\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lisette Cheresson\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wanderlust.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/2cdabfa9489bdce226624570e896c2c4\"},\"headline\":\"I Tried Collagen for 3 Months.
