Hi alan, I am sending some (((big hugs)))...your way. I am moving kind of fast this morning, but I wanted you to know that I am here for you. You might want to check out the forum on vitamins and supplements when you get a chance. There is some good information there. I am checking out some of the information on the inflamation diet. There are different kinds of arthritis. Do you know which type you have? Have they sent you to a physical therapist? There are some things that you can do to protect your knees. I have been reading up on MG. Please make sure you get enough rest and know that we are here for you. You take care too!
