Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks for all the information. I looked at the glucosamine link wwjd posted and there are several places around here that sell it. I think I will give it a try! rosetalleo - keep me updated about the nightshade plants. I am not sure what all is included in the nightshade category, but I think I might die if I have to give up potatoes! lol! I might try to back off of these veggies though if it will help my pain. Thanks again everyone! -Stephanie , " Stephanie " <stephsstuff001 wrote: > > I am having a lot of back problems.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've also just picked up D-Flame by NOW. http://www.nowfoods.com/index.php?action=itemdetail & item_id=38614 Lots of good stuff in it, for many things. I thought I would take it in addition to the Glucosamine with MSN. Judy - Stephanie Wednesday, January 30, 2008 8:04 PM Re: Glucosamine Thanks for all the information.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Here is a link that talks about possible effects of night shades, it gives references and seems pretty well researched. For whatever it is worth... http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george & dbid=62 , " Stephanie " <stephsstuff001 wrote: > > Thanks for all the information.
