Al is right in saying none of us should have to live in pain. I have joint and muscle pain and I never know if its from the past chemo, herceptin or my fibromyaliga. It doesn't matter because I can keep it under control. I have not had to use any narcotics but I do have them available if I need them. As I have posted before I use Barlean's flaxseed oil. I do use the capsules if I am not home to use the oil. The capsules I find can give me gas so I try not to use them but its better then having the pain. I find that I need to take these at least 3 times a day. I also use glucosame with cetyl myristolate night and morning. If have been busy or away from my house and not taken these and wow, do I ever know it. I am IBC, her2+, Er/PR- so I am comfortable doing this. My oncologist leaves it up to me he knows I will research and have a consultant that I work with. I am not saying this is for everyone each one has to do what they feel is right. I feel anything I take for supplements isn't any worse then those toxic chemicals we put in or on our bodies whether it be from chemo, skin care products, soaps, detergents, bleach, hair sprays, room/car freshners, bug sprays, scented candles, I can go on and on but enough said. You all have a great day and enjoy the blessings that come your way. hugs, from Sandy in snowy Maine looking forward to Texas and hopefully warm.
