GlennR Jul 2019 2:48pm, 18 Jul 2019 43,588 posts	0 GlennR I've not seen any proper evidence on turmeric. In any case, it's the circumin that's the relevant ingredient and it has to be delivered via oil to absorb. Frying is good.

jabberknit Jul 2019 3:33pm, 18 Jul 2019 2,928 posts	0 jabberknit Perhaps I'll just have to increase my greasy curry intake, then, GlennR. Good elbow news there, GregP. And an interesting possible purchase, DQ, may well invest in something like that.

GlennR Jul 2019 3:59pm, 18 Jul 2019 43,593 posts	0 GlennR The rheumatologist told me to take ibuprofen. I'm supposed to avoid it because of the asthma, but his attitude was simply to keep my inhaler handy.
Velociraptor Jul 2019 4:10pm, 18 Jul 2019 42,352 posts	0 Velociraptor Only a small percentage of people with asthma get wheezy with ibuprofen, and most of them are the highly atopic people with hay fever and skin problems and rhinitis.

Stilldreaming Jul 2019 5:47pm, 18 Jul 2019 255 posts	0 Stilldreaming Thanks for all your comments re: glucosamine etc, particularly VRap's input. Kind of what I thought really and, as a Yorkie of a certain age, I don't like spending my money unnecessarily! Thankfully I rarely have trouble sleeping, so grateful for that
