    Helping in a small way

    I have a friend over a few hours a week (we have a weekly gaming group). I don't really form a major part of her treatment. She's been having trouble, and it flares up.

    Knee pain

    Does anyone else have really terrible knee pain around this time of the year? Mine flares up when the temperature drops in late September/early October. It is nearly unbearable and causes me to avoid exercise. What are your coping strategies for knee pain?

    FMS and low vitamin D

    When I was diagnosed'd 12 years ago nobody said my vitamin D levels were low. now when I have annual blood draw D is very low. To take what doctor wants me to it eventually makes me sick and IBS flares. Has anyone noticed this or knows about research. It like a catch 22.
