@parrotqueen Glad to hear from you . When I saw the amt of side effects in reg. meds that's when I started to read more I am a retired nurse but refused to have to take all those meds to counter the side effects. I don't have thyroid problems my last lab test was in normal range . I do take a Colace it does the trick for me I need to get more fiber in my diet and fruit . If you have any osteopenia or osteoporosis you need at least 1200 mg of calcium which is what I take in the bone meal powder from Amazon. I never took the Moringa Dr. Mandell,s book maybe in older library,s or book stores I don't know if it is in print now or not that's why I went for Phyllis Balch I really like this book. Friday I did to much exercise as the student nurses put us throw the wringer and Sat my fibro kicked up especially the nerves in my arms so took extra Gabapentin plus I have a Cream Topricin cream you rub on it is for fibromyalgia and neuropathy I find it a CVS
or online. Its about 25.00 but last along time . Hope you can find the book. Hope your MRI doesnt show a fracture . I have 2 fractures one in 2005 a work accident and just this year showed a fracture and bone density showed osteoporosis so on the bone meal hope my next dexa scan in 2 years shows it has helped I think it has already as I can lay on my left hip without pain. Another thing for pain I drink a Arnica tea get from Walmart. Arnica is homeopathic.

@lioness @parrotqueen I just googled Topricin and it is supposedly good for quite a few different types of tissue pain. I was wondering if it might help sore muscles and also bursitis.
https://www.drugs.com/drp/topricin-cream.html
It does have echinacea in it which I am not supposed to take but often things that are not recommended for me to ingest, such as CBD, can be used topically so I may check on this. Now that I am getting back to exercise I have painful muscles a lot. CBD cream has seemed to help the pain in my shins. I am not sure if they are shin splints or not, I thought shin splints lasted longer, but they feel like shin splints. My hip hurts all of the time too, either from the fracture or from bursitis.
Parrotqueen, I am sorry to hear you are affected by the fires and smoke. These CA fires are really horrible. We have been to wine country -- Napa and Sonoma -- several times and it sounds as if some of the towns we were in have been greatly affected.

Lioness. Thank you for sharing the name of that cream - I will look into it. I use a cream by Eucerin that has a lot of urea in it for my neuropathy in my feet - but I will try Topricin as I have NOTHING except gabapentin for my fibromyalgia - which is the worst in my right arm).
This just in - my best friend who is a scientist and doctor read what I sent him on Vitamin K2 and he ordered a bottle for me! That is high praise coming from him - he has been in shock with my alternative herbal treatments (that was five years ago) and now he is in awe of the positive changes I have been able to achieve (especially in regard to candida overgrowth).
I feel for you on the fibromyalgia flare. Apparently I did too much work yesterday and it is kicking my butt big time today.
Justin McClanahan - I clear everything with my doctor. She used to worry and now she takes notes when I come in. People who are on blood thinning medications such as warfarin need to be careful taking vitamin K2. I need to also factor in the turmeric I take - which is another blood thinner. I have had no problems yet. I have seen a hematologist and an infectious disease doctor - and given them a complete list of my supplements. And I research my supplements on ConsumerLab.com which posted a list of the best magnesium supplements today for anybody who is interested. There is a membership fee, but it issn't much for what you get in return.
