Has anyone tried SAMe? I have read good reports on it via the Arthritis website here in the UK but there are very few suppliers.
Never heard of it. Sorry!!
Ooh, sorry Flatfluff, I've ever heard of it either, sorry!!
I went and looked it up as I haven't heard of it and been under a consultant for quite a few years and we have tried various things but he never mentioned this. Research seems to be very old. The paper I read said they were unsure of the dosage. My problem is normally with pain and I use the good old voltarol gel and ultimately had 2 joint replacements to remove the pain and give me mobility.
Good idea wknight! I too thought I'd look it up, but, haven't had time.... I too use the gel, as normal, my OA is just getting worse, it seems, by the minute! Oh well, we press on regardless..
Thank you for posting this!
I wish you and all our 'freinds' on this site.
Thanks for your response. I will look into it more as I would dearly love to find an alternative to painkillers as I've tried most of them and am either intolerant or they don't really help a great deal.
