Correction by mjh: SAM-e is available in the USA, and, by recommendation of my rheumatologist, I have been taking it since October 1999 and it has been amazingly helpful. I buy it by the case online and find this brand more effective for me than the two brands available in local stores.... which I used at first. There are also several popular books out on SAM-e now, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
