Wonderful advance, but Obamacare will not let you have it because it is too expensive. Sorry!

Screw Obamacare! It's unconstitutional! The people are not bound by an unconstitutional act! It's time for Americans to defend the Constitution by openly defying BO's/BS's marxist regime!

This story is from Great Britian. If BritCare lets you have it, ObamaCare will! Mmm, Mmm, Mmm!

The Brits are discussing privatizing parts of their system now. We are going in opposite directions.

“Because these researchers have made efforts to unpick what is happening at a molecular level in our nerves, they have been able to lay the groundwork for future drug development in the important area of chronic pain.”

Sounds promising. Hope they hurry. 1600 mg. of prescription Ibuprofen, 440 mg. Naproxen and various joint juice daily isn't packing the punch it used to. Sometimes I'd almost give a thousand dollars for a 6 hour morphine drip just to sleep.

Or, you can simply quit eating all of the sugar and junk that drives the inflamation in the first place.

My goodness! What then will those who “suffer” from “fibromyalgia” have to bitch about? Perhaps they’ll be forced to admit that they are really nothing more than self-absorbed individuals wallowing in self-pity and and a touch of hypochondria.

I have yet to know an individual claiming to suffer from that crap to actually be a person of self-reliance and possessing a positive outlook.

Have you tried Vitamin C in large doses? Specifically from Lemon juice?

Research it.

Well, not large doses just 500 Ester C. I have a lemon tree and keep wedges in my water all winter season until they run out. I just took another 1000 of the Ester. I’ll do the research, thanks. Honestly, I’ll try anything short of opiates!

Important note - Unlike other vitamins, too much C just passes thru, there is no known LD, however increase slowly because it is a liver stimulator.

The best and fastest acting sources are from foods not pills.

The lemon juice seems to me to be the strongest and fastest acting. A couple of tablespoons in 8 or so ounces of water will do.

Makes sense. I actually respond rapidly to new therapies. I've been hanging on lately because I know at my age this shouldn't be an issue. While arthritis runs in the family, I still swear it is a vitamin deficiency of some sort and until my bones are in complete disarray, I'll try just about anything. Thank you sincerely.

FWIW, I posted something a while ago that claimed an immune system benefit to soluble fiber as in citrus fruit. If there's anything to that then you might want your lemon, grapefruit, whatever with its pulp.
