Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2005Glucosamine !
I would like to know anybody's thoughts on Glucosamine ! Does it work ? Regards, Carolyn It works wonderfully on my knee w/osteo arthritis. Almost feels completely normal. Doesn't affect my rheumatoid arthritis at all.

I just noticed you're with Arachnet - I'm in Perth, too :-) Cheers, Ari  Signaturespammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

I am in Perth also, but on the other side of the world. :-) By the way, we tend to say "down under" when talking of Australia. My husband wants to know if you folks speak of us as being "up there", or something like that. Cheers from Canada. --- Joan >>I use Herron.

I'll just watch and wait. :-) --- Joan > No, we just offend Canadians by asking them what part of "the States" > they're from :-) hehe heh, reminds me of Mike and I traveling overseas - we try to be considerate of the fact that there ARE other countries in the Americas and always say we're from the US rather than from America. Inevitably though the person we're speaking to replies with, "Ah, America!" SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Here is a site with some info but as this is USA and you are in AU -- guessing the names will not help. It does gives a link to Dr. Theo's as well. He is a salesman for his book but good information there as well. At least it will give you the info on what makes a good make up of the drug and can make your choice from there. Another thing to remember, is that one brand my have some non active ingredient which may not agree with your stomach but have nothing to do with the active ingredients. Read your labels and try one.

Sometimes, given the dosage variations and the lag time between starting it and positive effects from it, people can get discouraged.

You'd pretty much have to immerse yourself in a gel 24-7 to hope to have an effect. Signaturespammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

He told me to go out and buy the largest and cheapest bottle I could find and take it daily. I'm hoping it is benefitting me, although the results seem to be *invisible*.

He said not to bother with the Chondroitin because there was no evidence that that one helped. I take 1,500 mg. of Glucosamine daily. --- Joan |
