    Medication Question - How Much Do You Take If Any

    Hi, I'm curious - is anyone here able to successfully manage your symptoms with a minimum of medication? If so, how do you do it? Do you work full-time (either in or outside the home)? I work full-time in a fairly sedentary job 37.5 hrs per week, and take a lot of medication in order to do...

    Boswella Serrata for pain relief and inflammation

    I just started to use Boswella Serrata in place of Ibuprofen or Acetaminaphen. I do notice a reduction in pain. I was told that it works similarly if not better than OTC pain relievers without the stomach upset too. I try to use natural "Meds" since I cannot tolerate pharmaceuticals. I have high...

    Hi From PA

    Hey everyone. I'm Samantha. I haven't been officially diagnosed yet because I ran out of money for copays and blood tests before I reached that point, but my doctor basically narrowed it down to Fibro or RA. After doing a ton of research on my own, I'm pretty sure it's fibro, mostly because the...
