I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of both hips, knnes and shoulders several years ago. Had to give up riding my bike because of the pain. Arthritis has spread to my fingers and elbows also.
On Sarajane's recommendation, I've been taking daily doses of flaxseed oil for two months now. I am no longer taking any other medication or pain relievers for the arthritis and I am PAIN FREE. Even the colder temps here in south Florida have not caused one twinge. Even my back with it's herniated disc has been behaving.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarajane.
On another note, I am on my 3rd week of the Atkins diet. Lost 90 lbs last time (pre-arthritis when I could exercise by riding my moutain beek daily) in a year and a half and am quite prepared to do it again (sans bike).
