I’ve been wondering if glucosamine really works to help ease joint pain. Teri’s dance teacher told her that she thinks it’s great! Teri has been complaining lately about her spine and knees bothering her, so we decided to go ahead and try some out. Teri bought some yesterday at the local pharmacy – they were buy one bottle, get one bottle free. She was careful to look at the ingredient list because some of the glucosamine products are made from beef and pork, and she was concerned about exposure to mad cow disease. So she made sure that the type that she bought was only made from shellfish. Come to think of it, I’ll have to make sure to NOT let my mother try it – she’s allergic to shellfish!

Anyway, we started on the pills yesterday. I wonder how long it will be before we notice any difference! Do you have any experience with this stuff? I’d love to hear how long it took for you to notice any difference!
