I have started take glucosamine for my arthritis, I take zinc, b6, and a few other things that seem to be helping.<br /><br />Now if I could find a natural remedy for migraines I would be doing great.<br /><br />JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601819916630680133.post-7571371016453069532011-10-02T11:25:31.537-07:002011-10-02T11:25:31.537-07:00Find another way...marching order for all of us no...Find another way...marching order for all of us no matter what the situation.<br /><br />I am fortunate to take no medications, have no known health issues except some minor arthritis and knee pain. My wife, on the other had, started with a laundry list of problems and infirmities at 30. She has battled to stay on an even keel ever since (she is now 57). <br /><br />The best decision she ever made was to take over the management of her situation by herself. She learned all about drugs and interactions, side effects and long term problems. She asked all the tough questions. And, when something didn't work, she "found another way."<br /><br />From 15 pills a day to 3...from constant pain to a 5 on a scale of 10. She just started using the patches I wrote about a few months ago that proved so successful for my son-in-law. She reports a pain reduction to 2 or 3.<br /><br />Following the "experts" blindly off the cliff isn't a good idea. Whatever the situation, chart your own course.Bob Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843991725692979189noreply@blogger.com
