Hi, cwe, I also take gab. I have been taking it for about 5 yrs off and on. Currently I'm taking 1800 mg a day. I've read you can "safely" take up to 2500. I had one dr give me 2800mg a day (he was a...
Hi, Well I'm still alive. I've finally got a appointment with my surgeon the 24th. I'm not looking forward to it. My back has gotten worse since my last MRI. I did something to my left hip. It seems...
