Arthritic ?? Pain??

Hello all,
Kath, did I get your attention???
I have finally and once again gotten to the point where my hip/back pain is making me coo-coo !! I went to the Doc, who as usual prescribed the usual "dope me up lay me flat drugs" that ONLY work because I'm passed out !!!
Now I KNOW there isn't a lot that helps my pain except what I KNOW helps my pain. TINA, DO NOT go up & down the stairs 20 x, or carry the laundry basket, or teeter on your stool reaching for that bowl on the top shelf blah blah blah. So I started researching alternative pain options and have come across something that is ACTUALLY HELPING....wooohoooo
I found an herbal supplement called Curamin to take along with my Glucosamine/Chondroiton. The health food store/naturalist/tree hugger woman said "Oh my clients swear by this" UH-HUH SURE
Well, BY HOAGIE (as Granny used to say). I took 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night and that first night I slept through the night. THE WHOLE NIGHT !!! AND I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom the next morning !! Didn't gimp..limp..wobble...just woke up got up and walked to the bathroom !!
Now I'm not one to believe in the herbal mumbo-jumbo very often (you who do don't beat me up here, it's just my opinion) but I went back and got a butt-load of these lil pills and are swearing by them By Hoagie !! Don't get me wrong, this is not a pain-cure-all, but for me for now they seem to be working and I just wanted to share. They may not work for anyone else, and who knows. It may be all self induced?? But as long as they work, I'll keep taking them and when and if they quit I'll move on to something else. Maybe go back to the tried and true mega Cap't & Coke nightcap :p
