Teppy, has your guy tried glucosamine chondroitin for his knee pain? The surgeon who did my shoulder surgery recommended it for my knees, and the stuff is nearly miraculous. If I go for a week without it I can feel my knees getting loose and unstable.
I'm going to have to find that out. I know he doesn't take it (unless he has a secret vitamin/supplement stash I don't know about it), but he doesn't take any vitamins/supplements even though I get evangelical with him about fish oil.
Hey, Hec, have you been to Mission: Comics and Art? Wait, I think I took you there. The owner reminds me of you. He has a similar look and voice; it was throwing me tonight.
I can't decide whether I should go to a small conference in Philadelphia in May or a big conference in Chicago in June.
According to my GP, more recent studies have found that glucosamine chondroitin is no more effective than placebos, and can increase one's bad cholesterol.
Smonster, I've read the same thing.
So I might have gone in to work, except I apparently turned off my alarm! Good one. I'm definitely not all the way better, but I feel bad for the people I was supposed to meet with today.
Oh, awesome -- one of the people the meeting was with is also out sick.
I'm feeling a bit better, but not all the way, too. I had scheduled a vacation day for a flying lesson, but that's not gonna happen now. Still, that means that they weren't expecting me in the office anyway.
So, I'm staying home, watching tv. Lots and lots of House. Yeah, that should end well.
Hee. At least I'm guessing you don't have bizarre and life-threatening symptoms??
