@jabrown0407 -- I've found that rheumatologists and/or endocrinologists--- like most conventional doctors=== favor pharmaceuticals over natural approaches to health. At any rate, please reconsider telling someone they "need" to find x specialist --nowadays, not everyone has insurance. This is a fact that is going to increase because of the state of health care in this country.

@bearbayou Thanks for the reminders. The reasons the doctors prefer Big Pharma is two fold, one is the personal financial rewards they may or may not receive and the other is FDA approval for your problem.
OTC drugs are not monitored with FDA approval for anything and you cannot find double blind studies that support the claims made, plus many do not have dosage guidelines and side effects are never listed. All good reasons that I am extremely cautious about taking supplements.
