Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 hi, i'm ren. haven't been able to type or do much of anything productive lately, or for some time. but wanted to share something surprising with you all. been taking black cohosh to ward off night sweats and hot flashes of peri-menopause, which it is, now, thank goodness. But also--and i'm not doing or taking anything else new to account for this--i am noticing some relief in the RA in my thumbs! so i looked up black cohosh online and learned that the native americans and other peoples have used it for rheumatic and neurological conditions for a long time! i never would have looked it up, never would have known. what a hoot! but only in my hands is the pain relief and stiffness better, not in my back or legs. still, something is better than nothing and i can type better and sign my checks again and even hold my cell phone longer than usual and pull up my own pants and turn doorknobs and a few other things i could not do without my thumbs! ) ren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
