Hi there, I've been taking 2tablets twice a day, although can take up to 8 a day if I need to.... which sometimes I do! I've found d them to be helpful in conjunction with the other meds I take. My muscle spasms are still there but not so violent during the day. Hope this helps. Gentle hugs for you xx

Thanks for the reply, I started taking them yesterday, no difference but I suppose I need to take them. Little longer to notice anything! x

not heard of that. does it have another name? some days I,d rub horse muck into my muscles if someone said it would ease the pain.

I use it and find it very hit and miss. Sometimes it can be so good but again other times it has absolutely no affect on me.
