To those with "arthwrongus" , I have information.
1. Avoid all members of the Nightshade family in your diet. This is a lot easier said than done! For me particularly! That means no potatoes, tomatos, tomatillas, peppers, (that includes bells, jalapenos, habaneros, and chile of any sort.), and ground cherries.
I do not follow this regimin. In my opinion, tomatoes and potatoes are two of the major food groups!
2. Proteolytic enzymes will dissolve calcium deposits and bone spurs, but it takes a good long while before you actually get some relief. Check the health food store.
3. DMSO. This is a solvent, not approved for humans, but it's used on high dollar horse athletes. It's kind of hard to come by, but it gives me decent relief in my hands and feet. Try a vetarenary supply, or a knowledgable health food store. FYI, The label will say not to apply it to humans. It will leave a nasty taste in your mouth, no matter where you apply it.
4. A drug, whose name escapes me at the moment, is an analog of codiene. It's supposed to be addiction proof, and relativly harmless. In 99.99% of the cases, the addiction proof part is true. It wasn't for me. After taking it for two years, I spent a miserable six months getting away from it. I'll try to get the name of the drug to you, as soon as I remember it.
My two cents worth, spend it wisely.

And I forgot, avoid pork in all forms. There is a plethora of informational studies that indicate pork is detrimental to one's well being. Apparently the Jews, Seventh Day adventists, and the Musims are right.
Once again, even knowing what I know, I ignore this proposition.
Can there be life without bacon?

jimsong.......DMSO, a favorite of working musicians everywhere. My advice, wash hands and area of appication, RINSE WELL, and dry thouroughly before any application. DMSO is one of the few things that actually soaks in through human skin and it CARRIES OTHER COMPOUNDS WITH IT. So, if you have soap, bug spray, perfume, whatever......it will enter your body. Personally i'd rather have bug spray on me than in me.
There are internet sources for DMSO. Use it sparingly. Yes it works. Yes it gives you a bad taste in the back of your throat. I always took it to be "old" onions.

You guys sound like a TV commercial for the new drugs , take this to cure .... Lets say .....Hang Nails.... (Telling you how good it is 15 seconds of a three minute commercial , the rest of the time in the disclaimer)
Then the disclaimer and the list is four miles long on things it will do to you that are not of any benefit including a reduction in height from using the drug. Yep it will cure hang nails but kill you in the process and if you stop breathing for more then 4 hours .... seek medical help. :roll:

bearridge, oats and apples would be OK. Actually, going out to the track and running 8-10 miles a day would probably help all of us.

I like pig in all it's forms, almost. Can't eat pig ears. The crunch drives me nuts. Yall know how I feel about liver but that does not include pig liver when its used to make boudain. Love that stuff. My wife gets all the pigs feet. Anything elst except for a few unmentionable parts are good. It may not be good for me but I like it.

Piper,
You are absolutely right about cleaning up before applying DMSO!
Twenty years or so ago, I got home from a gig about three AM, and just collapsed in a recliner and passed out. My two youngest sons got up about seven, and applied fake tattoos on my hands, while I slept.
Shortly thereafter, my fingers were aching so badly, I went into the garage, and drenched my hands with DMSO. All that was left of the tattoos when I was done, was a thin plastic film. Somewhere in my body there runs a blue bird and a jolly roger.
At times, I don't know wheather to sing sweetly, and eat bugs, or to pillage and rape.
It is indeed a quandry.

Wannabe,
The secret of eating pig ears, is to develope a taste for back fungus. It crunches just like pig ears. So whenever you are crunching on pig ears, you can imagine you are eating black fungus.
Yummy!
Beer helps as well.

Bearridge,
The ORIGINAL absorbine is also good stuff! Get it at the feed store. Absorbine Jr. is okay, but the original is better. It's meant for horses, so it is just right for studs like those who hang around this dive.

If black fungas crunches like pigs ears I'll not eat it. Might make a tea out of it to mix my Scotch with. :cry:

Well, Bob, I'll not continue with the tasty pig parts that were going to end with the roast pig tail, early in the boucherie. Just at day break.(The secret there is lots of salt)

If I have to give up good eats and wash myself with a solvent, forget it. I'd rather limp with a smile than hop with a grimmace.
Jack,
I'm shocked! I thought you were the "live large" sort on a guy. A guy that would enjoy pig ears and tails, blood sausage, slim jims, grits and nouc mam. With a side of rice bugs and okra.
Guess I was wrong.

I quit eating out of the garbage dump a few weeks ago, Jim. Okra isn't as bad as nuc man, but those big rice bugs bring back memories. Lets you'n me have a prayer meeting around a few beers, and swap stories.
