Hey fellow Madonians!

Does anyone who has joint pain get a reprieve in the summer months? Down here in Florida mine seems to go away for three months or so and I was wondering if this is common.

Hey Jill!

A friend of mine just told me about a supplement which she called "life changing" to help with her aches and pains. She said to give it about two weeks before you notice a change - I just bought some and started taking it. If you are interestted it is called: Pro- Enz made by Anabolic Laboratories ( I bought mine from a chiropractor office).

Here are the ingredients:
Tumeric/Curcumin 300mg
Ginger Rhizome Extract 100mg
Boswellia Extract 100mg
Rosemary Extract 100mg
Lemon Bioflavonoid complex 100mg
Bromelain 50mg.


I'm familiar with each ingredient for use as an anti-inflammatory but haven't seen them all together - So I am hopeful! :) Directions read 1 to 4 a day on an empty stomach. I'm following my friend's advice and starting with 2 a day once in the morning and one before bed.

www.anaboliclabs.com if you want to read more info! Hope that helps - I'll let you if it works for me! (I'm only two days in!!!)

I've been a vegetarian for years, have always been very healthy and have exercised regularly. Until I came down with PMR I was a runner and had been for years. Also do strength training. Can't run anymore as it plays havoc with my hips. The PMR has really stiffened me up. My first few steps after sitting down is a hobble like an old woman...heck I feel like an old woman..Given a choice I would take no hair over pain any day.

i have the same problem with joint pain. however, when i eat only organic vegetables and no meat - the joint pain goes away. you can take charge of your inflammation. turmeric especially diminishes inflammation.

Let us know what the dr says. I hope the pain settles down for you soon. I never realised how ongoing pain gets a person down until I got polymyalgia. I'm doing okay though. What gets me down is the fatigue that comes with it. I've always had such a lot of energy, could tackle anything that required physicality but now the days slip past and I don't do much at all. It's nice to have this group to talk to as I don't talk about it to anyone else except my husband but he has his own issues with pain to deal with. Fortunately my prognosis is good as most people with my condition get relief within 2 years. 1 1/2 years to go!!

Sounds painful Jill. I guess it could have been the steroid masking your symptoms. It will be interesting to hear what your doc says.

Wishing to a pain free day Pat!!!

I've been having a flareup of symptoms the last couple of weeks but kept to my usual dose of prednisone. This week is so much better, in fact one day I was virtually pain free. Hoping this will continue...
