>We dissolved [Advil] in DMSO and did topical.<

Interesting! I think I will do the same with aspirin and see what happens. I've

taken aspiring all my life, never had a problem with it, and for me, it is a

very good pain reliever. It actually works better than many prescription meds.

>I have exactly the same issue walking downstairs I feel creaky. Fibro affects

it all - natch.<

You have my understanding; it's such an annoying condition!! 

>Bromelian,

Tumeric<

I eat a fair amount of raw pineapple and a lot of curries, but I guess I could

also pick up the supplements!

> " FlexNow " (a shea product I am currently trying to research IF it is nec. to

buy this or if we can just take shea butter)<

I'd be interested in hearing what you discover. I actually have a jar of shea

butter. Are you researching internal or topical uses?

You might want to look into Silica (bamboo extract poss?) but the one I have

researched is " Bio-Sil " - it is tested and definitely bio-avail. A little goes a

loooong way...<

I'll keep it in mind.

Silica as Diatamaceous earth might be a consideration and of

course epsom

salt baths, as we all need more magnesium to get the calcium uptake.<

I actually have a can of food-grade  DE. I might try taking it to see if

anything improves. IIRC, it also helps detox?

Are you aware of all the lit on fibro/alternatives/ and probable " causes " ?<

There sure is a lot of speculation on causes. I'm presently chewing on thyroid

issues as a possible cause.

>It is superb and tremendously informative. Make sure to scroll down to find

the info.<

Will do!

I recently discovered that people who are extremely flexible actually have a

collegen forming disorder!!!<

LOL!

Not as flexible as I was. In my teens, I used to be constantly spraining my

ankles.

Why can't anything be SIMPLE!!!

Thanks, Dianne
