did you wash them before you wore them? If not, it might be the sizing that they put in to make them look nice on the little hanger.

Yeah, I did. My best guess right now is that they're a little bit more slippery than the other brand, and so the brace, which I wear over a sock, was slipping around and rubbing against my skin.

Hil, that sucks. And I really hope you hear soon on a job! A really good one in a great place. With Jewish people, even!

Would you have to lob holy hand grenades at me if I said, "Amen to that!"?

Any buffistas with medical knowledge around?

My ortho wants me to take Glucosomine, chondroitin, MSM and vitamin c.

The problem is that he wants me to take Glucosomine Sulfate and almost ALL of the glucosomine that's available and combined with chondroitin is glucosomine HCL. The chondroitin is sulfate.

What would the difference in effectiveness be between the two different sorts of glucosomine and is the one combined with chondroitin most often HCL because the chondroitin is a sulfate?

Thanks!

sumi, I take a formula with Glucosamine HCL, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), and hyaluronic acid. Sulfur is good for joints and skin, and the MSM has the sulfur. Hyaluronic acid is also good for joints and skin.

According to some research I've read, adding the chondroitin to the mix isn't any better.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

I've had a great birthday so far. It's going to be continued through the weekend.

i'm watching some of SYTYCD now

Glucosamine is amazing stuff. It saved my knees.

Depends on your canon. It does happen in the Warhol vampire movie.

In the Anita Blake books you can.

I don't read those anymore but that was always a detail I really liked. It's a person's faith that holds the power, not really the object.
