Kathyellen, Yes, I take it daily.  I take 1 cap as maintenance for arthritis in my right foot.  My husband only takes it when his psoriatic arthritis flares up and he takes the concentrate for a day or two.  My mother-in-law does the same only when her gout flares up.  1 - 2 doses gets rid of it.  The black cherry also has no side affects.  Good luck.  Elena

Oh yah,  can hardly believe how fast the time is just flying by!

I'm still working on getting my tests and psych eval completed and closing out a project at work, so no time for worries - isn't that awesome?  :)

Hi Kathyellen,  I originally got mine at the GNC store.  I got my last bottles on line from Amazon.com.  The company is NOW - Black Cherry Fruit Extract 750 mg.  I think when I'm done with these though I'll go back to the GNC product.  I think (and it could be in my mind) they work better.  One or two doses of the liquid concentrate would have a much quicker affect but the concentrate has 20g of sugars per dose (probably from the fruit a I believe that's all it is).  With RNY I'd be cautious of that because of dumping.  Good luck.  It does work but with only the caps it may take a little longer to get into his system.  This really saved me.  I was in so much pain and it took care of it.  Best wishes for him.  Elena

There's my voice of reason just when I need her most!  You always come thru and save my sanity.  I can't believe your weight loss.  I think you were at around 90 lbs lost when I first met you.  I can't wait to see you if you can make it.  I will go to the SF meeting.  I'll also be at SJ. 

I'm glad to hear this is normal.  I guess I had all of these expectations right after surgery and thought I skated thru.  No hormone dumping, no exhaustion, nothing.  Then BAM.  Three months out, new problems came up.  I am evil now!  I am tired and having weird pains.  This too shall pass.  Thanks for the reality check!!!!

Cheers,
Cathy

Using NSAIDS was the least of my worries when I signed on for this surgery.  Little did I know how important it could end up being.  I think I am over the freak out right now.  I'll just deal with this as it comes as well.  Thank you for responding!!
