Hi Folks

Am new here but not new to arthirtis :-(

Am 46 and have had OA for years - since my teens whe I was dx with hypermobility - I have arthritis in my feet, ankles, knees ,spine, neck, arms, hands, etc., I have fibro and suffer with migraines, have TMJ and TN and ULD 0- I am very limited on what I can take meds wise I am allergic to most things and get all the side effects going :-( I have IBS and GORD to boot.. all good stuff lol!

I have had to stop taking my HRT as well as that was making me really ill and my blood pressure was through the roof with it but I am concerned because of my arthritis.

Whilst I am feeling better in myself my pain levels are through the roof again from my arthritis, my GP has just referred me to ortho's at my local hospital because of my feet/walking issues (I can't take an NSAID's or opiod meds)so I am looking at supplements - what should I be taking? I know you have to be careful but I have read about calcium, glucosamine, fish oils, zinc, magnesium etc... its mind boggling.. what is the simple and best to take for my arthritis?

Hello cellbar,
Welcome to the forum.

I have pa in most of my joints and have been taking hrt as well for yrs I am 45yrs old.I was wondering is your pains worse when you are not on your hrt as with mine if I forget to change my patch my pains are killing me thats how I know I have forgot to change it.

I have found omega 3 fish oils good and glucosamine also devils claw and so far have not made me sick but everyone is different and i think you just have to keep trying different things ask your parmacist who will help you as much as they can.

Hope you find something that helps and if you do let us know take care Deborah.
