I just joined the list. I thought I had mine under control -- it started last October and was really bad in November -- could hardly walk. Got over it and thought I had it beat for a couple weeks. Now it is back again for at least two months -- tolerable ... I can walk, but quite inconvenient. Plus over the past week or so I have been aching all over and feel like it might be related. The med the doc prescribed has quite dangerous sides so once I used them up I did not renew the prescription. Been doing some research on home remedies tonight and stumbled on baking soda. I figured it was easy enough and not that dangerous in low doses. I am thinking of a level teaspoon in a glass of water first and last thing for starts. I was wondering if anyone else has tried this. I will keep you up on it.

I also heard about baking soda. It is horrible tasting though and if you have high blood pressure as I do, it really isn't such a good idea.

There's no scientific evidence baking soda helps. Some people have tried it and swear by it, some say it didn't make any difference. On the plus side it helps prevent indigestion.
