I am taking the glocosamine now too, my knee made me do it, it is feeling much better, I am hoping it works for the long run. I did not want to do it, but I bought one bottle and got one free at Walgreens. So that is pretty much vitamins for 150 days. I am wondering now: I am taking the glocosamine, calcium suplement, multivitamins and b 12 too. Do you think that's too many vitamins? Do you even take vitamins? Or you take more than me now? Is there such a thing as too many vitamins? (btw I do not believe I can afford to buy a well balanced meal everytime)

Taking too many vitamins can be dangerous because most vitamins, particularly multi-vitamins contain multiple vitamins and although they may provide the right amount of certain vitamins they may provide too much of others, which can be deadly if taken long term. I find supplements to be much more effective than vitamins because they are a lot easier for the body to absorb. But you would have to see a chiropractor who is trained in B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchroniztion Technique) or a similar practioner to tell you which ones you need. Everyone is different. Good luck, hope this helps!

It is helpful. Right now I do not have medical insurance. I need to find a way to see a Doctor that will not leave me broke.

A B.E.S.T. doctor would certainly be cheaper than paying for a medical doctor but the costs would still add up depending on how often you went, it is between $30 and $50 per appointment for most.

With all the vitamins you are taking, you should be okay. Most of them if you have too much in your body, you will simply get rid of in your urine. Especially the B vitamins I am watching you and will know if something is wrong
