if you can't afford Tafamidis, you could probably get away with taking

- Flufenamic acid

- Valtoren (Diclofenac)

- Diflunisal

off-label.

IANAD but I believe that Valtoren has the least side effects, but in general since they're all NSAIDs they have been tested for long-term analgesic use, so they're relatively safe and quite inexpensive.

NSAIDs absolutely aren’t for long term use.
NSAIDs can kill your kidneys.
And your stomach lining. Even better if you’re already on a DOAC for Afib.
