i am having a very hard time. last year at this time i was an active duty nurse on a medical-oncology floor, here in canada. have had arthritis-osteo- for 20 yrs-tried every Tx that anyone's ever heard of. 3 yrs ago my back and shoulders were getting worse-xray-arthritis-more meds-back to work. 1 year ago pain becoming unbearable-xray- compression fractures of t11and t12 insufficiency fracture rt sacrum . in this past year it seems as tho every joint has inflamed and deformed-my rt collarbone, for god's sake,. i can only walk 1/2 block before the pain in my right hip kicks in enough to stop me. i hurt every minute. presc meds have helped my fractures but arthritis beats it. going to try all the vitamin b's jaminhealth talked about in past posts, any updates from that? i'm 55 and still want to go hiking!!!! fayella

and can't say anything great from this B6. Nothing bad either. Was hoping for more from what my post had said back then.

I'm afraid it's all gotten worse for me. Still no major drugs though. Just can't go there.

Still take the higher doses of MSM and the DE (diatamacous earth)...helps but no cure.

I don't walk far anymore..I'm 71 and walked miles in my early life. Oh well. Hate to say, that's the way it is.

Started on LDN and now in my 3rd day. I'm not expecting a miracle but maybe some relief. I'm making the liquid solution, so going slow with a very lose dose .5mg and staying there for a while.

It's the pits. I was still moving a lot at 55, but that's changed. jam

sorry to hear that. i'm doing a b-complex double dose, extra vit d like you said and 2000u b12. i understand we quit making b12 around 55 so have to have supplements. it hasn't of coursr done anything for pain but my energy is higher. i am taking gabapentin for the back bones, it helps a little with arthritis, maybe, but i have morphine for the bad stuff. no, i'm not addicted-days go by without it. but if i overdo, it's there for me. i look on it as just another tool to stay on my feet. trying to avoid a wc forever. faye
