I have osteoarthritis in my right hand - can’t bend my fingers very well - and I’ve been recommended to take a couple of tablespoons of cider vinegar in warm water every morning. The person who recommended it said it had helped her but the nhs and other sites say it’s an old wife’s tale. What’s the view of my lovely gransnet friends?

I found glucosamine helped. I'm currently giving supplements to my dog who is 9 years old, very fit and not overweight but developed a slight limp in her right front let. Yep, the limp has gone. Friends with dogs or horses swear by glucosamine and animals can't imagine they feel better.

A friend of mine lives in Cumbria with her old Border Collie and walks it every day. They often meet styles in the dry stone walls and the dog was finding it increasingly difficult to scramble over these or squeeze under other types.

Glucosamine helped her recover her flexibility and that can’t be down to the placebo affect!

Teatime refer back to my previous post.
My sister has psoriatic arthritis and I have psoriasis.
We both found the regime in the book extremely beneficial.
It was written by a consultant who specialised in arthritis.
As I have said before, not easy but did give results.
