Thanks for the link, Mike!
Those are the best prices I've seen, and I've LOOKED, believe me.
I too managed to get Lyme Disease, last year.
Luckily it was caught early on, and taken care of quickly.
(It certainly does a number on you, though...)

I picked up Lyme disease in 99 while attempting to hike the AT.
It took a several 30 day doses of antibiotics for me to feel better.
My knees still hurt.
I started taking glucosamine and over several years my knees have
improved
There has been at least one medical trial of glucosomine. D0 a google search on
"glucosamine trial" and sort through the results. A lot of companies cite the
trial and you have to look for the real results. Basically it said 1500 mg/day.
It takes a few months for the cumulative results to occur.
Some one on the pct-l list put out this link, and I have been buying
these pills for 2 or 3 years.

the product # is SW679 and the name is Mega Glucosamine 750
I usually buy 3 or 4 bottles to keep the shipping costs down.
I don't believe that chondroitin does anything. It is found in the joints
and they seem to throw it in to raise the price and expectations.
