Had to play around with dosage until I could live with intestinal upset. Joint pain and fatigue very much better, unless I over do. Took predisone for 5 years and pleased to be off it, I'm truckdriver and it has helped me keep my job.

Went from severe floating joint pain in many of my major joints to minor annoyance type of joint pains.

Side effects have been non-existant to date.
