Joint Pain, Acne, and Cuts: 1 1/2 months

Today I felt like and old woman. I feel this is probably what arthritis feels like. I feel like my bones are grinding together. This joint pain is a recognized side effect so I looked on line to see if I could find any recommended relief. I am shy to take any pain relievers because I really don't want to tax my liver anymore.

I found a helpful question and answer site covering this topic at MedHelp.org. Unfortunately it costs $19 to ask a question, but the posted questions and answers are helpful.

I also found this wikihealth site over all very helpful. It lays out typical side effects and experiences by month of treatment. I will add this to my links column.

The last entry in this forum recommends Glucosamine Sulphate which is used by arthritic people. Go figure. I will call my doctor or pharmacist to find out if its ok to take.

This forum recommends more water! That sounds like a good idea too. I try to drink as much as I can, but sometimes I forget, and sometimes I don't want to have to pee all the time.

At 1/2 way through my second month my skin looks better, but the pimples are still putting up a fight. I've had a few small cysts break through this week.

Also cuts are happening more easily and taking longer to heal. I've had some mystery cuts on my face. Did I do that when I was sleeping?
