I know exactly what you mean. This has been a really rough winter for me. I've felt pretty bad the whole winter. But I'm back 100% now I'm pretty sure:)....getting old is not fun.
Not sure what your problmes are, but I'll tell you what helped me, and maybe it will help you. I was hurting so bad all over, OTC pain relievers were doing nothing. Remember when I mentioned I tried calcium.
Altho I wasn't saying mcuh about how bad I felt, my husband knew something was wrong and found this web site for me:
http://www.womentowomen.com/
He filled out the questionaire for me:) and then ordered the vitamins that they recommended. They also sent a book called "The Schwarzbein Principle" I think the info I got from the book more then anything helped.
MY HUsband and I HAVE CANGEd our eating to the recomendations in this book, and we have both been truly amazed. Mack has lost 20 lbs, I've lost about 6, and loosing weight was realy not even the goal. I just wanted to feel better. I can't recommend it enough as a must read if you really want to start feeling better. I'm sure the vitamins they sent help too, but what this book will tel you about nutrition is amazing and sensible. Not some wacked out diet plan. My kids have even started changing their eating habits after seeing how much better me and their dad have been feeling:)
You can buy the book at any bookstore. You should give it a read.

Beaker's probably a little young to be having these kinds of problems, but like you say, the nutrition part would be helpful to anybody.
Thanks for the link....looks like a real interesting read. The other girl, who works with me and I are into healthy eating and fitness. She is a personal trainer also. I think, getting plenty of exercise and a good diet, are really essential to good health. I am glad to hear this helped you, and Mack.
