I love this blog! Purchasing a emergency alert alarm system is a wonderful way for the elderly, disabled or medically challenged to continue to live either in the privacy of their own home or with a caregiver. I purchased ResponseLINK Medical Alert system and was comforted to know that they had 24 hour live operator response. Along with the add on services of meal/prescription reminders, wellness and health checks, and no long term commitment or contract this has been a great inexpensive investment for our family. Go to www.ResponseLINK.com to check it out for yourself it has taken a huge burden off of our hands.

Dear Gloria,
I have a lot of pain in my muscles, but my doctor ruled about arthritis. He thinks I may have something called fibromyalgia. I was watching Live 5 News in Charleston and there was a doctor on there talking about the condition. Is it similar to arthritis, and do you know if you can get over the counter prescriptions for it? thanks!

Lucy, that's what I first saw in my chart when i first consulted a doctor for my condition: fibromyalgia. i suggest that you get a second opinion, a specialist.
