    Continuing the discussion on MSM, Collagen, etc.

    Collagen works for me. I have started using Neocell (from Amazon-free shipping) and my painful knees got relief in a very short time (10 days or so). I then took it for about a month. I know I don't post often, but had to put my two cents in here. It couldn't hurt to try a bottle if your...

    Asking for prayers :(

    Thank you dixiegirl! She is holding her own for now. I think they are ahead of the pneumonia (the other lung had some pus ick..) They had to give her sedatives to calm her down some. It's been almost six weeks in ICU so far. I hope the worst is over.... :/

    Asking for prayers :(

    Still good! Just an update...... Modern medicine is just so amazing (as well as the power of prayers!) Maura was circling the drain literally :( For almost two weeks NO lungs came in at all. Then some came in and didn't match. Then the storm hit. Then one lung collapsed, causing dependency...

    Asking for prayers :(

    A family member of mine (32 years old) is now in the hospital waiting for a double lung transplant. She has cystic fibrosis and has succumbed to its horrible effects. She needs to be on a machine to help her breathe as the lungs are pretty much done now. She has beautiful 4 year old twins and...

    What a difference good socks make!

    The tubes are comfy and great to walk/run around in. I made the mistake of thinking I could use them for step because they do feel good on the impact. I figured out the hard way that I have rolling issues!!! Under pronation I think? My ankle wants to roll outward. I have to stick to cross...
