Good morning,
Well, I live where it is raining, AGAIN. Boy do I know it too. I woke up so achy, everywhere. My jaw, knees, feet, ankles, hips, neck, hands and really painful fingers. I even took off my rings from swollen fingers. Typing is painful too. My sinuses are a mess as well so my head is ready to explode. I probably would benefit form a decongestant, but they make me jittery and I hate that. I have tried, glucosamine, calcium, cherry juice, ibuprofen, etc and nothing is really doing the job.

I dont' mean to complain, but where else can I go to talk? I am sure my family is sick of my complaining and you guys dont' judge so I thank you all for reading and hearing me out. I am going to try to exercise and see if it helps.

Hope you all feel good today.

(((((enough)))))

Just wanted to pass along some hugs, good thoughts and prayers for you, dear.

I hear ya girlfriend! My head hurts and I am achy all over today. I wanna go back to bed!

Everyday is a new ache or pain for me, but I don't bother complaining anymore cuz even I tire of myself...heehee.
(((enough))) hope you start feeling better and soon. You can send the rain this way if you like, my garden would appreciate it.

Thanks everyone, you all made me smile and that doesn't hurt. Even if it did, it would be well worth it.

Hi:

Please answer back

Sorry, but I never used that. I hope you find someone who has.

Elations. One word answer. It took 6 days to work. My pain is gone. I drink one 8oz bottle per day.

One 8oz bottle of ??

Elations. The first work in my post.

OMG .. hahahhaa.. I thought it was an explitive !! I thought you were "elated" and telling everyone .. sorry .. to funny

yes...our peri brains send us down rabbit trails a lot. No need to say "sorry".

This is VERY interesting becuase this elixer has Malic Acid in it .. I came across this compound very early in my research as a possible substance that might relieve my body aches .. I think this is probably what is giving you the benefit ,, along with the calcium ,, I to have a great reduction of pain (knock on wood) but started with a good mag/calcium suppliment daily ,, I will see what this next cycle brings me .. but I like the looks of this elations ,, can you get it at the local super market .. ?? thanks for sharing this !

You can purchase Elations at pharmacies, grocery stores, cost club chains, etc.

It comes in 2 flavors, raspberry white grape and cranberry apple.

Ingredients:

glucosamine HCI 1500mg
chondroitin Sulfate 1200mg
Boron 3mg
Calcium 300mg

Sodium 0g
Sugar 1g
total calories 30

Their calcium is a Calcium, Citric Acid & Malic Acid combo.. Malic Acid adds tartness to green apples (maybe something to that "apple a day" grandma always told us about) .. thanks !

Also their glucosamine is not derived from shell fish but corn so is safe for those with food allergies

I don't know but I am currently taking tizanidine, 4 mg for muscle spasms. Unfortunately, it only lasts for two hours. It helps to keep moving but I am so pooped! I hadn't realized my muscles had gotten so tight. I also have twitches and tingles--lovely!

I also use rice packs. I make them myself. Just make a cotton long rectangle, sew into three sections, fill with white rice, sew across tops of sections. Microwave 2 1/2 to 3 minutes (I warn you, my microwave is ancient so am not sure about settings). The rice pack can wrap around any tight muscle. Ahhhh. I make a cover for mine because, er um, my microwave is not too clean, just like the rest of the house these days!

I just read an article yesterday on the LEF site about how beneficial therapeutic swimming pools at 87-92 degrees are for helping with joint health. I believe that you can check out the American Arthritis Foundatio for a pool in your area. I totally sympathize with you!
