Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Glucosamine is great stuff. My knees can tell when I'm not taking it.

We have glucosamine left over from Kato (bought from the human pharmacy, as recommended by our vet). Although Tim's RA meds have apparently helped his RA pain (not entirely, but still -- yay!), one of his elbows has a lot of pain from osteoarthritis. Maybe he should take the Kato glucosamine and see if it helps.

The surgeon who operated on my shoulder recommended glucosamine. Interestingly, his younger medical assistant grimaced and said glucosamine doesn't do anything (on a separate occasion, when surgeon wasn't in the room). I take it anyway.

It really seemed to help the dog, and I feel like they aren't susceptible to the placebo effect. All he knew is that he was getting peanut butter.

The hip and joint supplement that worked so well for Harvey has glucosamin, chondroitin, and MSM.
May the force of cranberry be with you, Zen.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Moving from Natter:
Ugh, Zen, Talk about insult to injury. (Dammit, my phone has started capitalizing the first word after a comma and I don't know why and it drives me bonkers.
Scrappy, house~ma! Can't wait to see pics.
WS, IANAD, but I found this site on angular cheilitis - [link] Have you been checked for thrush? (Saw your response in Natter)
Another day of brick and ladder Jenga at work. We are short-staffers and my boss is preggers, so abfriend of ours has come in from Mississippi to help. Excited to learn stuff from him. And my boss told me today that she's going to need more of my help starting pretty much immediately. Good for my cash flow, tricky for getting my own work done in a timely manner.

smonster, the big symptom of thrush is the white rash inside the mouth. The doctor did not say specifically that she was looking for signs of thrush when she had me open my mouth, but if there were some, that was her opportunity to see them. For what it's worth, the only symptom I have that matches the symptoms of thrush are the cracks in the corners of my mouth.

Fwiw, though, when I had thrush the only symptoms were a cough and chelitis. The white rash wasn't visible. The first doctor I saw totally missed it.

Yeah, I'm wondering if there can be subclinical thrush, where you don't have all the symptoms (even the classic one of white tongue), but have some "lesser" symptoms that persist.
