SAM-e


My sister-in-law and I were talking at Tucker's birthday party and she mentioned this supplement called SAM-e that she had been taking that was supposed to help your mood be better. She had been taking if for awhile and really thought it had helped. I thought it might be worth a try. My only worry was whether I could swallow it or not with my whole small esophogus thing. It is an over the counter supplement so I went out and bought some.

Naturally what I found was big pills that there was no way I could swallow them whole. Luckily it is easy to break into little pieces (with a meat mallet) and then swallow the pieces. It is supposed to take about two weeks for it to really take effect and I have just barely been taking it for about that amount of time. Can't really say yet whether there is a noticeable happier mood, but I think so. Doesn't seem to have any bad side effects like lits of things do. It is supposed to help depression, osteoarthritis, liver disease and fibromyalgia. Now I just have to find someplace where I can buy it cheaper than one of the drug stores. Looks like there are some really good bargains on line so I think I will try that. We'll have to see if I seem to be "happier"!
