Hi John,
Maybe you are allergic to writing checks. :O)
My handwriting has gotten terrible - checks, notes.. everything. Even my printing is poor. All my bills are on auto-pay.
I've never heard of Meriva. Is it OTC? I take a bunch of supplements: glucosamine chondroitin (my knees don't hurt anymore & no bad hips), digestive enzymes for lactose, Vit D, Flax/fish oil/borage soft gel (as per Dr), probiotic and now the sports minerals which are helping a little. I have a few hours a day w/o vibrations. No pain - just annoying and weakens my hands. I'm not dropping things- yet. Hope it doesn't come to that.
