Interesting information, but I don't take glucosamine, and don't intend to. Assume you mention it to because you know I've been suffering from something that acted like rheumatoid arthritis, or infectious arthritis, or something like that. It differs from osteoarthritis in one extremely significant way. Osteoarthritis wears away cartilage, while rheumatoid arthritis builds new cartilage in inappropriate places, the spaces between the joints. Although I seem to no longer be suffering from whatever it was that I had, I prefer not to take any medication whatsoever, in fear of triggering *IT* again.

Glad for the rest of you guys that you can take glucosamine. I'd probably benefit from it too, say, for my back, but the fear of building new cartilage into my finger joints or behind my kneecaps is too much.
