@SouthernBee, Who knows where that rascal Winston went after his kissy?  He is a man on the move, always finding new places to nap.

@Witchy Woman, I give you credit for exploring options to help your DH.  I try to do the same.

My back pain, in my lower back, caused by arthritis, caused me grief for quite a while.  Had PT, shots in my back, etc.  Finally, I researched ways to manage my pain.  Lessman’s 

“Turmeric 400 Curcumin” has helped me tremendously.  Nothing is perfect, and on days with big changes in weather, I take a couple Ibuprofen.  

Your DH maybe willing to explore another option.  You might ask him to read the reviews of this supplement on HSN.

Hopefully, he will be open to giving it a try.  My internal med family doctor is now advising his patients to try these ingredients for such issues.  Sometimes I think some docs need feedback to encourage them to advise trying “natural”

remedies rather than prescription drugs.

I hope this helps!

i'm going to order the skin, hair, and skin and read some of the reviews

one mentioned that bc of a supplement she was already taking - which contians biotin and the skinm hair, skin added more biotin - she had side effects

i dont take many - but i also dont do a lot of research

just wanted ur thoughts bc i never really thought about it 

this isnt necessarily biotin - but supplements in general

will google for more info

thank you in advance for ur insight

@Yahooey, I’m not taking any Biotin from any other sources than Hair, Skin, and Nails.  I agree that you have to carefully read ingredients and ask your physician if there is something you question.  It does put things on our back, unfortunately, as none of us went to med school.  It can drive you nuts, I know.  And recommendations from the medical community do change.  But I know that my diet is far from giving me all I need.

for anyone interested...

from what i read - mega doses + energy bars + proten shakes etc is overdoing

i will have to look at the Omega 3 + Coenzyme Q10 which is what I'm taking

and i want to add the Hair, Skin, Nails .... 

i only googled and you cant really believe all you read bc anyone can put it out there  but... all agree Calcium + Vit D go hand in hand and too much of 1 or the other is not good for you - since i want to keep my bones healthy -this is what i found

but anyone who have a specific health problem - supplements should be discussed with your doctor and they may interact adversely... or not... 

i dont even play a doctor on TV

Morning all....Hope everyone had a restful night...worry free (is that possible?) 

Wondering about that little green/blue van behind kitty.  A fancy toy, perhaps?  What a sweet, eager face, but I fear kitty is getting ready to attempt climbing the wall 

Expecting a brief snow this morning, then falling temps.  I will spend the day sewing and working on an impossible 1000 piece puzzle I started.

Who makes all the puzzle pieces the SAME shape and expects it to be completed in this lifetime?  Well, I bought one of those (unknowingly), and it taunts me daily when I manage to get one or two pieces in place. 

What was I thinking?

Everyone stay warm and dry if possible.
