What were your symptoms? In my country, berries are not produced much but I eat other vegetables and fruits.

My symptoms have been the same as yours: extreme pain in joints, fatigue/ exhaustion with activities, and pins and needles. I do use wrist and neck braces at night to avoid the pins and needle numbness.

My flare trigger was the 4 Covid vaccine shots. They now recognize the vaccine does cause flares. I first thought the symptoms were long Covid, but realized later that it was psoriatic arthritis. I do have psoriasis on my scalp.

If you do not have berries, try to make combinations like a coleslaw with red cabbage, red onion and purple carrots (if available, otherwise orange carrots) and keep it in the fridge as a side for your meals. Keep the veggies raw if possible.

Can you get grapes, grape juice or wine? Keep alcohol to low amounts. I use black rice from Italy. Black beans / black lentils available? I make veggie burgers with black beans or black lentils and red onion. Could add black rice to them.

I try to have the anthocyanins in some form twice a day plus a snack like black grapes. Have to keep at it or the symptoms return. Try for a few weeks. It will take some time to reverse symptoms. Hope it helps.
