Arthritis and degenerative disk disease.

Also, for the first time in many years, I've been able to lose weight
without losing my hair on a low carb diet. Been eating a high collegen
diet (a lot of chicken feet and trotters) since the end of May 2008.

And my fingernails are growing in faster and stronger. :-)

Mainly tho', it appears to be helping with really bad back pain from the
degenerated disks. The last two disks on my lower lumbar spine are
essentially gone.

It's like a runaway case of Sciatica from hell...

If I'd not lose so much income going on disability, I'd be tempted to
apply for it. I've chosen to continue working instead, despite the
chronic pain. :-P

Chicken (and pigs and calves) feet appear to provide the body with the
nutritional building blocks to at least halt the degenerative process,
but YMMV as always. ;-)

Plus, they are a cheap source of protein on a low carb diet. Losing the
flab will help with these issues as well as anything else...

as will swimming regularly. My city has a local activity center with 7
lap lanes. I have access to their pool and weight room for $80.00 per
YEAR!

Both the Ortho' and the Chiro' have told me to swim for therapy.
