My dr. started me on a high dose of Glucosamine. How many of you take this and does it help at all? I'm thinking its just another pill for me to take...ugh!!!!!!

All I know is that I have been terribly sluggish today and couldn't get out of bed because I am so sleepy, now 7 hrs. later I am dizzy. I don't know if it is the Glucosamine or what.

Yes I have had and my mum also and we took it with chondroitin It works for both of us but I am no longer able to take it as I had a reaction to it. But like a lot of things it does take time to work.

HEY DIXIE,
GLUCOSAMINE, DIDN'T DO A DARN THING FOR ME, HOWEVER YOU CAN'T GO BY THAT YOU ARE A TOTALLY DIFFERNT PERSON SO IT JUST MIGHT WORK. I DO KNOW IT WORKS FOR DOGS HOWEVER NOT THAT I AM COMPARING YOU PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T TAKE IT THAT WAY. BUT IT JUST MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR ANIMALS AND NOT FOR HUMANS. BUT I HAVE READ EXCERPTS HERE AND THERE WHERE IT HAD HELPED PEOPLE. SO THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW REALLY IS GIVE IT A TRY.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

PLEASE EXCUSE CAPS LOWER CASE LETTERS STILL NOT WORKING LIKE THEY SHOULD.

it will work for some people, but it may take months. I use the Glucosamine/chondroitin it works for me. you can get a Rx for it, but i don't know if it's the same as O.T.C.
