[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 317392, member: 47233"] Thanks Chalcedony ... what scares me about the mention of 'muscle aches' is that it sounds fairly inocuous but I had that kind of reaction to a drug about 10 years ago and believe me it was no joke. I started waking up with my hands all twisted like claws and my thumbs in particular were extremely stiff. During the day it would improve but my hands were very weak and I couldn't turn taps on, take tops of bottles etc. I just thought it was another symptom of my age and the menopause as usual so i didn't do anything about it. Then I began with pain in my hips, elbows, and all my muscles really and the soles of my feet felt like they were filled with shards of glass. My GP told me it was arthritis and prescribed painkillers. I went to see an acupuncturist who took one look at me and said 'toxic drug reaction'. He didn't tell me to stop taking the medication I was on but I did agree with his diagnosis and I stopped it myself. I began to improve almost immediately but it took 3 months of weekly acupuncture to alleviate the symptoms and another 6 months of chelation therapy to drag the toxic waste out of my joints and muscles. Never again. The more I look back at my health experience the more I feel like I've been nothing more than a bl***y pharmaceutical guinea pig and I'm not going there any more. 'Muscle aches' is just two words on a piece of paper until you experience it and how it impacts your life. I also understand that women find it harder to eliminate toxins from their body whereas men are a bit more efficient in that department. [/QUOTE]
