Ok guys, I'll finally admit it I'm finally starting to feel my age.....but don't tell anyone outside of here as everyone I know say I at least look young for my age even though I did get a thing in the mail the other day for "seniors"...LOL. Anyway I'm going on 42 middle of Feburary, and I've had 'mild' arthritis in my neck since I was in my early 20's. When I started to really notice it several trips to a chiropractor, doing the neck exercises he told me to do to loosen the muscles, and a theraputic pillow have made the pain associated with it bearible for close to 15 years. I've finally gotten used to the neck stuff but here lately my shoulders have decided to join in the party on occasion too.
I talked to my dad earler tonight and he said he had been taking Osteo Bi-Flex for over a year and had been able to come completely off the prescription arthritis medicine he had been taking. Looking at the ingredients I see it has Glucosamine in it. I know I'm moving outside of the human element here but I used to have an older dog that I started giving a glucosamine suppliment and even she acted like she felt better after taking the stuff for several weaks.
That said given Dad's glowing recommendation, and the completely unpredudical opinion of an old dog, I'm planning to give it a try and see how it works for me. That leads me to my question for ya'll, and that is how do you guys deal with the arthritis? Beyond the suppliment and/or simply enduring the pain are there any home remedies, etc out there I should know about, just in case? I've heard the one about being bee stung working and worse comes to worse I'm willing to give that a try if need be...but I really don't want to go there except as a matter of last resort. So, any other suggestions for me to try????

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
