I deal with bodywide OA, and Fibro and a hip replacement MESS...I'm 77 soon.

I work to keep pain meds as low as possible and use ibuprofen and some other pain supplements that do help me.

MSM powder in 3-4 daily doses in clean water, 1 tsp for 8 oz liquid...I sometimes add low sodium V8 to my morning MSM drink.

I just posted some info on: do more pain meds, cause more pain. Yes, they do.
