RE: My mum relieved radically from crippling arthritis
I wanted to add to this, hope no-one minds?
I agree that Dairy can make joints so much worse if you have an intolerance to it, as can other intolerances. Glucosamine is very good (hadn't realised it was available on prescription, will have to speak to my GP). Most helpful also I find is keeping the joints moving and flexible. A very good way to do this is using Tai Chi. I'm using a DVD of Tai Chi for Arthritis by Dr Paul Lam (who himself developed arthritis failry early), specially developed using the simpler versions of the forms and good also for the elderly. The DVD instructions are amazingly easy to follow, very well explained. I'm progressing nicely through it and finding my balance and strength much improved and my pain reduced. I would recommend trying it. It's very helpful. I'm gradually reducing the painkillers I take thanks to this.
