Here are a couple of sites that were in a discussion in another newsgroup
that might help you without selling you products from
news:alt.suppot.arthritis .

Have you seen an RD [rheumatologist] yet? You might have a form of
arthritis which will have limited help from G/C and better help from
some other form of treatment.

Again you can not advertise in this newsgroup which has a charter that does
not allow advertising and is recognized by nearly all ISPs.

Safety and efficacy of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) for osteoarthritis A
meta-analysis
Karen L. Soeken, PhD; Wen-Lin Lee, RN, PhD; R. Barker Bausell, PhD;
Maria Agelli, MD, MS; and Brian M. Berman, MD, "Safety and efficacy of
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) for osteoarthritis A meta-analysis",
Journal of Family Practice, May 1, 2002, Vol. 51, Num. 5, pp. 425-430
"CONCLUSIONS SAMe appears to be as effective as NSAIDs in reducing pain
and improving functional limitation in patients with OA without the
adverse effects often associated with NSAID therapies."
Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Gammalinolenic Acid
Leventhal L. J., MD, Boyce E. G., PharmD, and Zurier R. B., MD,
"Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Gammalinolenic Acid", Annals of
Internal Medicine, November 1, 1993, Vol. 119, Num. 9, pp. 867-873
"Patients who completed the 24 weeks of gammolinolenic acid treatment
showed statistically significant improvement in global assessment by
physicians, patient assessment of pain using both a 5-point scale and
visual analog scale, ability to perform vocational tasks, number of
tender and swollen joints, and associated tender and swollen joint
scores."
Evening Primrose Oil In Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis And
Side-Effects Of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Brzeski, M., Madhok, R., and Capell, H. A., "Evening Primrose Oil In
Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis And Side-Effects Of Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs", British Journal of Rheumatology, January 1,
1991, Vol. 30, Num. 0, pp. 370-372
"Our study found that only 23% (3/13) of patients completing treatment
with EPO could reduce their NSAID dose and none could stop, similar to
that found with placebo. This contrasts with previous study in which
the same dose of EPO enabled 25% to stop and a further 38% to reduce
NSAID dose after 6 months without clinical deterioration."
